Nominations for the 2019 Jersey Director of the Year Awards are open until 27 February and will be judged by a panel chaired by Tim Crowley, Managing Director of La Mare Vineyards, who was recognised at both the Jersey and national IoD Awards in 2017.
Winners will be recognised at a black tie dinner on 17 May.
Emelita Robbins, CEO, Jersey Hospice; Dr Lesley Dickie, CEO, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust; Graeme Smith, CEO, Jersey Business and Lisa Springate, Head of Technical, Jersey Finance, will also sit on the panel.
Anyone can submit a nomination for this year’s ten award categories:
- Director of the Year – Small-Medium Business (below 50 million turnover)
- Director of the Year – Large Business (50 million+ turnover)
- Young Director of the Year
- Third Sector Director of the Year
- Public Sector Director of the Year
- International Director of the Year
- Director of the Year – Inclusivity
- Director of the Year – Innovation
- Director of the Year – Corporate Social Responsibility
- Non-Exec Director of the Year
Chris Clark, IoD Jersey Chairman, said the benefits of entering the Awards extend “beyond the recognition and prestige associated with winning one of the award categories.”
He added: “We know how many talented and inspirational leaders we have in our Island community and we hope people take a bit of time to nominate those that are deserving of this recognition. There are new categories available this year and we are excited to be able to highlight those who innovate, promote inclusivity and corporate social responsibility, alongside the traditional business categories.”
