IoD Chartered Director Programme
Awards 2017
The Institute of Directors in Ireland is delighted to launch the Chartered Director Programme Awards 2017 and we are now calling for your nominations. Recognising excellence in company direction, awards will be presented in three categories:
- Chartered Director Award 2017
- Chartered Director Programme Graduate of Merit Award 2017 (Executive Director)
- Chartered Director Programme Graduate of Merit Award 2017
(Non-Executive Director)
These prestigious awards offer an unparalleled opportunity to recognise the commitment and contribution
of both Chartered Directors and graduates of IoD Ireland’s Chartered Director Programme to both improving board effectiveness and driving success in business.
Do you know someone who deserves to be nominated?
Do you sit on a board with a Chartered Director? Or perhaps one of your colleagues is a graduate of the IoD’s Chartered Director Programme in Ireland? Do they deserve to be recognised for their contribution to the board or to the business?
We are calling on all members of the Institute of Directors in Ireland to put forward nominations in all of the three categories through a simple and straightforward nomination process.
So, if you know someone who deserves to be nominated for the Chartered Director Award 2017 or the Graduate of Merit Award 2017 (Executive and/or Non-Executive), let us know today by completing the short nomination form included in this pack.
Once nominations have been received, nominees will be invited to provide further information by making an application which will be assessed by our expert judging panel and from which the winners will be selected.
On behalf of the Institute of Directors in Ireland and the judging panel, we invite you to get involved and nominate and we wish all nominees every success.
