About the Award
To honor Bill Fulginiti’s life and dedication of service, NLC Mutual Insurance Company has created an award to recognize an individual from a current State League or Risk Pool who has demonstrated excellence and made a significant contribution to the public entity field. Bill was one of the founding members of our Company and served as Chair for over 29 years and as Chair Emeritus until his passing this year. His commitment to this community far exceeded this Company; he was a mentor to many and an advocate for all State League and Risk Pools. Not only did he carve a path for others to follow, but he empowered the disenfranchised to use his experiences to create services, processes, strategies, and/or partnerships to address their own needs. Bill was a true leader. This award allows us to honor his legacy, his commitment to mentoring and supporting one another, and his recognition of the importance of NLC Mutual and the celebration of the NLC Mutual family. To continue the legacy of his life’s work, we seek an individual who embodies his spirit of engagement and guidance.

The recipient of the award will be invited to an NLC Mutual Board meeting as our guest to receive their award. Expenses for travel, room and board of the recipient will be paid by NLC Mutual.
