The Internationally United Commercial Agents and Brokers (IUCAB) is a Europe-based umbrella association of 20 manufacturers’ representative associations. MANA is one of those 20 associations.
In Europe, manufacturers’ agents are called “commercial agents.” Each year IUCAB chooses an exceptional representative firm to receive IUCAB’s “George Hayward Award.”
Eligibility requirements for a MANA-member representative firm to apply for this award are:
- MANA member since at least May 1, 2021.
- In business as a representative firm since at least May 1, 2019.
- Financially sound.
To request an application form, email MANA CEO Charles Cohon at ccohon@manaonline.org.
Completed application forms must be returned to Charles Cohon by January 31, 2024 to be considered.
The winner of the 2024 “George Hayward Award” will be announced in Vienna, Austria at the IUCAB Annual Delegates Meeting on May 10, 2024.
- The winner of this award attends the meeting at their own expense.
- The meeting occurs over Mother’s Day weekend, which is not celebrated in Europe.
