Marco Ruggeri, the Legacy Officer for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (
IFAW), has won the Legacy Officer of the Year Award 2009 at the tenth Institute 
of Legacy Management Annual Conference.

The award is designed to recognise assistance provided by colleagues from within
the charity sector, and nominations can be for anything from leading on a particularly
difficult or contentious case; through saving an estate thousands of pounds through
expert understanding of inheritance tax, to being a role model within the sector.

Ruggeri was nominated for his 15 years’ experience of legacy administration. Before
his current four year period with [IFAW](http://www.ifaw.org.uk), he worked as Legacy
Officer for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
