ING Asia/Pacific recently organized the first annual ING Asia/Pacific Hall of Fame awards celebration in Hong Kong at which 18 Thai agents, Agency Leaders and VPs were honored for their outstanding sales performance during 2009. The awards recognized more than 100 top tied agency professionals across the entire Asia-Pacific region. In addition to the awardees from across the Asia-Pacific the event was attended by all Country CEOs and the members of ING’s Asia Operating Committee, including ING Insurance Asia/Pacific CEO Frank Koster.
The awards ceremony was a glittering black tie affair held at the Disney Hotel in the heart of Hong Kong’s enchanted kingdom. The evening was themed, “Journey Through the Stars,” and featured entertainment, including Broadway style dance performances and a live band. All the awardees were also personally congratulated by Frank Koster at the event.
“The ING Life Thailand organization is very proud of our outstanding agency team represented here by these 18 superstar performers,” said Mr. Hans Visser, Chief Agency Officer, ING Life Limited, who accompanied the Thai delegation to Hong Kong. “At ING, we have always invested in our Tied Agency and this Hall of Fame Awards program further demonstrates our commitment to supporting this critical channel. In addition to this and other awards and rewards offered to our top performers, ING provides the best training and career advanced opportunities in the industry as well as supporting our agents with a portfolio of best-in-class products.”
“The ING Asia/Pacific Hall of Fame award is the most prestigious award I have ever received in my career because it was only granted to the top performers of each country in the region,” said Pornprapa Sukreepirom, SVP, ING Life Limited. “This event was a great opportunity to meet with top executives of ING Asia/Pacific and learn about the company’s policy and direction, which has increased my confidence in the organization. Moreover, I got to know many colleagues who are top performers from other countries in the region. After receiving this award for 2009, I am resolved to do my best in my career in order to be able to receive this honor again in the years to come.”
ING Asia/Pacific will organize its Hall of Fame awards event on an annual basis with the venue rotating among the various regional countries. The 2010 event is scheduled to be held in Singapore.
