To enhance the professional competency, image, and social
standing of practitioners in the global financial insurance
industry, the Insurance Marketing Group announced the establishment
of the International Dragon Award (IDA) at the 2nd Worldwide
Chinese Life Insurance Congress in 1998. The first awards were
presented in Hong Kong in 2000,
under the guiding principles of "Paragon, Perfection,
Nobility". Over the past 25 years, the IDA has attracted countless
financial insurance elites globally, with the number of applicants
increasing each year.
As of 2024, the IDA has honored over 163,000 elite professionals
worldwide, propelling them to new heights of success and
self-realization. In 2011, the first IDA Hundred-Head Team was
established, inspiring outstanding organizational teams in various
countries and regions to set their sights on achieving IDA
Hundred-Head Team status. To date, 25 teams have been honored with
the IDA Hundred-Head Team title.
On August 10, 2024, the IDA
Executive Committee hosted the "Night of the Dragon" and the
"Glorious Salute" award ceremonies for outstanding IDA members. In 2024, a record-breaking
23,093 members will receive the IDA, including 12 exceptional teams
that will earn the IDA Hundred-Head Team honor. Notably, the
Kowloon South District of Manulife (International) Limited, which
set a world record in 2011 by achieving the IDA Thousand-Head
Team status, will again receive the IDA Hundred-Head Team honor for
the 12th consecutive year, earning them the title of "IDA Century
Legend Team".
