JoAnn Heltibridle Award
![]() |
The JoAnn Heltibridle Award is personal to us – and should be personal to the recipient, too. The award honors an exceptional insurance broker professional who was among those who lost their lives on 9/11. JoAnn stood for excellence, embraced the industry with passion and always advocated for her client’s best interest. PRMA is proud to celebrate her achievements, her dedication and her “can do” spirit by honoring an individual who carries on her legacy in the same way she did – with a bright smile on her face every day and devotion in her heart. |
