J. Putnam Stevens Award

J. Putnam Stevens was born in Winthrop, Maine on November 24, 1852. He was appointed General Agent of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company on September 1, 1887. Throughout his more than 46 years of service, he was intensely loyal to his fellow associates, to the industry and to his company.

He was a man of rare, enduring qualities and he will be remembered affectionately as “Put”. Mr. Stevens was known throughout the entire industry. He was a prominent figure at annual insurance conventions which he attended without fail.

The J. Putnam Stevens Award is given to the person who has rendered outstanding service to their industry and community in the State of Maine. It is not intended to restrict the award only to agents and/or advisors, but rather to recognize those people, even outside the industry, who have advanced the cause of the life insurance profession.
