Chapter Administrator of the Year Award
RLI’s Chapter Administrators play a key role in the success of each chapter. The Chapter administrators help keep everyone “on track” with schedules, policies, and more. The recipient is chosen by RLI staff and the choice is based on performance that builds a stronger RLI chapter—such as helping to enrich member experiences, provide support and benefits to members, applying for continuing education units for LANDU courses, and displaying a high code of conduct and ethical standards.

Ladonna Ignatuik

- member retention and development,
- course and other educational offerings,
- volunteerism to national Institute,
- technological achievements,
- and outreach and collaboration with other Institute chapters and local and state organizations.
