BlueWave Technology's Leila Tamashiro Accepts Jeffrey Nordhaus Education Award
HONOLULU, HI--(Marketwire - August 6, 2009) - BlueWave Technology
(www.bluewave-technology.com) congratulates the Honolulu Association of
Insurance Professionals (HAIP) (www.haipro.org) for winning the
distinguished Jeffrey Nordhaus Education Award at the recent National
Association of Insurance Women (NAIW) regional meeting in Salt Lake City.
The award honors the local association within the NAIW region which has
most significantly contributed to insurance education. Competing
associations were evaluated on the courses taught or attended by members,
and educational articles written by association members on insurance
topics.
Leila Tamashiro, president of HAIP and chief industry analyst at BlueWave
Technology, accepted the award. In addition to being the current HAIP
president, as an instructor she was an integral part of helping the
association win this important award. Tamashiro's distinguished career
includes 30 years of experience as a claims professional, and she has held
positions at leading insurance companies such as State Farm and Island
Insurance Company. She has also served as chairman of the board of
directors for the Hawaii Property Insurance Association, and as a
legislative committee member for the Hawaii Insurers Council.
"I am proud to receive this award on behalf of HAIP," said Tamashiro.
"This is the culmination of the diligent efforts of our Awards Committee,
chaired by Charlene Mizumoto and Marian Nakashima, and all of our dedicated
members."
The HAIP is the local chapter of the NAIW. Founded in 1947, the mission of
NAIW/HAIP is education and establishing alliances. The organization
provides professional education, an environment in which to build business
alliances, and other opportunities to make connections with individuals of
differing career paths and levels of insurance experience.
Through employee participation such as the efforts noted here by Tamashiro,
BlueWave Technology is proud to be an active participant in the insurance
industry and members of such esteemed associations as HAIP and the
Insurance Accounting & Systems Association (IASA). Congratulations and best
wishes to Leila Tamashiro and HAIP on this much-deserved honor.
