The Charles A. Will Award
Congratulations to Qianyi Yang of Cigna & CMB Life Insurance! Qianyi is the 2021 recipient of the Charles A. Will Award!
This award, instituted in 1993, is named in honor of Charles A. Will who was instrumental in developing a formalized program for the professional home office underwriter. He also authored the book “Does It Make Sense,” a text that encapsulated the process of decision making for underwriters.
The recipient of the award is the new FALU with the highest aggregate score on all of the ALU exams. The Charles A. Will Award recipient receives a larger version of the crystal globe that all new FALUs receive, and payment of his or her expenses (airfare, hotel and registration fee) for the annual AHOU conference where the international underwriting community will recognize his or her accomplishment.
