Nicsa Presents Honorees with Volunteer of the Year Awards at SLF 2020

Nicsa is pleased to announce the winners of its annual Volunteer of the Year Awards. Honorees will be celebrated at the Nicsa Strategic Leadership Forum held from February 26-28, 2020 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“We look forward to honoring Nicsa committee members who have demonstrated committed excellence in driving forward educational content for our members. Their leadership has driven member collaboration and increased industry dialogue, which in turn paves the way toward the building of best practices in the global asset management industry,” said Jim Fitzpatrick, President and CEO of Nicsa.

Nicsa’s committees work on behalf of the organization to provide its members with content, resources, and events to keep up to date on evolving issues within the global asset management industry. By doing so, the committees support the association’s mission of developing, sharing, and advancing leading practices among industry participants. Each year, Nicsa recognizes outstanding volunteers whose sustained contributions over the previous twelve months were deemed exceptional.
