Unsung Hero

Honoring those who continually give back to NAIFA-Iowa

The Unsung Hero award was created by the NAIFA-Iowa board to honor the late Ric Jorgenson, FIC who passed away the year he was to be state president. Ric was a very active agent who served his church, community and the industry. Ric's resume was over three pages of accomplishments and organizations he supported and served. Ric served on the city council, the boards of NAIFA-Central Iowa and NAIFA-Iowa, his church, and many non-profit organizations; too many to name.

Applications are closed for 2024 and will reopen in June 2025.
