The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) is now accepting nominations for its annual Carrie Nevans community service awards which will be presented at the 22th annual educational conference luncheons in February 2015.

The awards, which began in 2010, were renamed in memory and honor of Carrie Nevans, the acting administrative director, who passed away in 2011. “This award is about recognizing and acknowledging those extraordinary individuals whose efforts, often unsung, do so much to benefit the comp system for the betterment of employees and employers,” said DIR Director Christine Baker. DWC is a division of DIR.

Nominations should be made for those individuals who have made a significant contribution to the betterment of the workers’ compensation community in the highest professional manner. DWC will honor the Southern California recipient in Los Angeles and the Northern California recipient in Oakland during an award ceremony at the educational conference luncheons.

To submit your nominations, please complete the DWC nomination form and send to Wendy So at wso@dir.ca.gov no later than January 5, 2015.
