Celebrating Excellence in Fraternal Service

Award levels are determined using first-year commissions reported by participating member societies. This provides a consistent measurement for comparing qualifying business across different products and organizations.

First-year commissions are commissions associated with qualifying new business during its first year. They determine award eligibility and achievement level; the awards recognize documented production results and do not disclose an individual's compensation.

Recipients combine strong production with consistent, long-term service. They must have at least $2 million in issued production, 30 or more paid applications, and a persistency rate of 90% or higher.

Persistency measures how much placed coverage remains active over time. A high rate generally indicates that members received appropriate recommendations, understood their coverage, and continued to see value in keeping it in force.

Recipients demonstrate a strong early-career start, commitment to professional development, and meaningful service to new insurance members.

They must hold the FIC designation and achieve at least one of the following: 50 new life applications, 75 total new applications, or 25 new insurance-member enrollments.
