All Club Members should take pride in knowing that the first two John Street Insurance Association – Steve Calascione Memorial Scholarships will be awarded this September, for the current academic year. Two deserving students of the St. John’s University School of Risk Management will receive scholarships of $1,000 each. We will announce the recipients at an upcoming Club meeting and hope to meet them personally as our guests at a subesquent luncheon. The scholarships honor the memory of our former President and Governor Steve Calascione who passed away, all too soon, in 2010. The awards look back fondly to our friendship with Steve but also look forward, to the future of our industry and the continuing vitality of our Club. We ask all members to consider making a gift to the Scholarship Fund to continue and enhance this program.

The Board of Governors of The John Street Insurance Association (The John Street Club) has completed arrangements with St. John’s University and its School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science (SRM), for a Scholarship Fund to honor the memory of our dear friend and colleague, Steve Calascione. Our goal is to obtain donations from individuals and companies which will fund a scholarship in perpetuity to students in the School of Risk Management. The Scholarship will not only benefit those deserving students but the Insurance industry at large. You can rest assured that your generous donations will benefit future generations of Insurance professionals. The scholarship was created in consultation with Steve’s family. All of your donations will be recognized as charitable contributions within the University’s status as a 501 (c) (3) organization (which will facilitate matching contributions from supporting firms). Donations should be made by check payable to “St. John’s University/SRM” with a notation “For the JSIA/Calascione Fund”.

BACKGROUND NOTE: Our dear friend, fellow Governor and President of the John Street Insurance Association, Steve Calascione, died suddenly on Friday, September 3, 2010. Steve was serving an unprecedented second term as our President with his usual friendly and enthusiastic leadership that has done so much to reinvigorate The John Street Club with new initiatives and new members. Steve was an Executive Vice President and Managing Director of JLT Re North America here in New York and before that on the underwriting side, he was a senior officer of QBE Insurance. Among Steve’s many good works, he particularly valued his membership with others from our industry in The Friendly Sons of St Patrick.
