Champion for Governance

A champion may be many things. They may be a visionary, someone who opens doors and creates ‘the new’. They may be an evangelist, inspiring and challenging others. Or they may be the person who drives and pushes for recognition – for others, and their profession.

Who do you think deserved the title ‘champion’? Perhaps they lead by example, advocating and demonstrating through their behaviours the value of good governance. Or maybe they have the personal touch, bringing in new talent, nurturing and helping them to flourish. Perhaps, simply, they’re the people who won’t be ignored, who will stand up for what’s right.

The judges are looking for nominees who demonstrate any or all of these qualities and more, and who make a significant, positive impact upon other people and upon their organisation.

Include the following in your submission:

  • Please outline key achievements that will help them stand out against their peers.
  • Why do they deserve this award?
  • You can include endorsements from colleagues or clients.

We regret we cannot accept self-nominations for this award.
