CARD MBA recognizes Top Natatanging MBA Coordinators

CARD MBA recognized its top MBA Coordinators and their determination to serve their communities amid the ongoing health crisis at the 6^th Natatanging MBA Coordinator Awarding during the Association’s 22^nd Anniversary and Microinsurance Day on September 9, 2021.

The annual awarding of MBA Coordinators aims to recognize and value their contribution and their exemplary performance and dedication to service. These coordinators have demonstrated exceptional records for being both an MBA Coordinator and a member of CARD MRI.

CARD MBA CEO Jocelyn D. Dequito shared her thoughts on how big of an impact MBA Coordinators have on CARD MRI’s goal of 10-20-80, the institution’s strategic direction which aims to reach 20 million members and insure 80 million people in the next 10 years.

“Our CARD MBA Coordinators are instrumental to our aim, especially now when families need institutions like us that could help them in times of hardships. These exemplary coordinators are our frontliners in extending our helping hand especially to those who need it in today’s pandemic,” said Dequito.
