Professional Farm Mutual Manager Designation (PFMM)

The NAMIC Farm Mutual Conference board of directors created the Professional Farm Mutual Manager of the Year Award in 2002 to recognize the accomplishments of an outstanding farm mutual manager. The award recipient must hold the PFMM designation and serve in a management role at a mutual insurance company. Candidates are nominated due to high-level performance in management, financial management, and marketing.
