And especially for the Professional of the Year category. This award is for the young person doing extremely well in the corporate world. That person must have a major job/assignment in a flourishing organization, or must have reached enviable heights/position. On the other hand, it is also an award for the professional (i.e. professional university/curriculum courses e.g. Doctor, Pilot, Engineer, Accountant) who has achieved considerable success or who has broken ceilings, blazed a trail... that kind of thing
(Certain concerned people have rightly raised issues with the name ‘Professional’ for this category. We wish therefore to restate that the fact of this category being called ‘Professional’ does not seek to undermine the professional nature of other categories. Whilst we agree with the principle of their objections, we have to emphasis that the overriding interest guiding such decisions is to make sure that people can connect with the words, and therefore it is simply a mattes of nomenclature. To reach a suitable compromise for the purposes of communication, we have decided on and remain convinced about using ‘Professional’ in the conventional academic sense)
We are tired of hearing people saying they didnt know or they deserved the awards and didnt hear about it until after nominations! Nominate nominate someone, tell them! And if you feel you deserve the award, that your achievements can inspire someone else, you owe a duty to your generation - whatever your reservations - to nominate yourself!
