I believe that there are many in this workers' compensation community that merit mention. They are each fulfilling a role in what remains a "grand bargain." Despite the many critics who emphasize its failings, workers' compensation has very positive effects for people, business, and more. It has been an integral part of the American workplace for over 100 years, and it is delivering every day. Some will point out that it does not always deliver, but it does deliver. Furthermore, it is constantly evolving, striving, becoming more than it was.
Career dedication to integrity and excellence.
Commitment to working with all industry stakeholders and treating injured workers with dignity and respect.
Contributions have improved or advanced the industry.
So, when the time comes (nominations will likely re-open in November 2019), take the time to recognize those who you notice, those who inspire you. They may not win an award, but think of the compliment you are delivering by merely nominating them. If nothing else, perhaps you can make them blush a bit, reflect a bit, and know they are making a difference. In the end, isn't that a pretty nice compliment to deliver?
