INSPIRATION AWARD
Application Deadline is June 1st.
The SCWCEA Inspiration Award allows us to recognize, celebrate and share the journey that injured workers experience during their recovery and return to employment. It also acknowledges the support, assistance and outstanding contributions provided by a workers’ compensation team who went the extra mile to help in the recovery journey.
