Periodically, the "Champion Spotlight" will focus on a CPCU Society Champion, and describe how they have responded to the unique challenges and opportunities a Champion can encounter within their employer, or while championing the CPCU designation and the CPCU Society to the property/casualty industry at large. In addition to this feature on the web site, Champions selected for the Spotlight and their employers will be profiled in e-LINK.

Champions are encouraged to submit stories about their experiences as a Champion. These stories can highlight successes, such as new initiatives implemented by employers as a result of Champion efforts. Or, tell us how you believe your career has benefited from your activities as a Champion. Champions can also use this Spotlight to invite other CPCUs to participate in their Champion projects. Send your Champion Spotlight story to CPCU_Champions@cpcusociety.org.
