The Chair’s Award, established in 1996, recognizes a current or former NPAworldwide owner, manager, recruiter, or staff member, whose contributions and service to the network represent substantial and lasting benefit. Nominations are sought from the NPAworldwide membership, and the board of directors selects the recipient.

People Search International (www.peoplesearchinternational.com) joined NPAworldwide in April 2009. Mr. Arief established the business in 2002.

NPAworldwide Chair Pam Robison remarked, “When I joined the Board as a Regional Director in 2017, Taufik graciously took me under his wing and became a trusted mentor. His calm guidance and global insight have remained an asset to our network. Even after completing his Board term, Taufik has remained actively involved, consistently supporting our members and recruiting new, high-quality members to the network. His innovative ideas for fostering collaboration continue to spark valuable connections and generate split placements across the network. This recognition is truly well-deserved.”

“I am sincerely grateful to God for this honor. Receiving the Chair’s Award is a meaningful recognition, and I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the NPAworldwide Board of Directors and staff for their continued support,” commented Taufik Arief. “This award is a testament to the shared commitment and collaboration among our leaders and dedicated members. I hope it serves as encouragement for all of us to keep advancing our mission and strengthening our global network.”

The Chair’s Award was presented during a special luncheon at the recent NPAworldwide Global Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA).
