<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Colleagues, <br>
&nbsp; <br>
<b>You may be interested to know that</b> <b>the 2009 Asia Insurance Industry
&#8220;Personality of the Year&#8221; Award was bestowed upon Dr David Dror, Chairman of
the Micro Insurance Academy</b>, &#8220;for his groundbreaking research and study
which has helped boost understanding of how the world&#8217;s poorest communities can
benefit from microinsurance.&#8221; <br>
&nbsp; <br>
This is the first time in the 13 year history of the Asia Insurance Industry
Awards that microinsurance is recognized with such an honor, and the entire
team at MIA is proud to be associated with this recognition of our microinsurance
work by the mainstream of the insurance and reinsurance industry. <br>
&nbsp; <br>
The award press release by the Asian Insurance Review highlights MIA&#8217;s
&#8220;structured technical assistance to community-based insurance schemes&#8221;, and how
MIA&#8217;s research activities are leveraged to adapting products and distribution
channels in microinsurance. &nbsp;<b>Read the full press release <a
