Who can I recognize in my own company or association?

Is it my time to reach out for some well deserved recognition?

Who has challenged me or helped me by providing “best practices” or benchmarking information?

Who, if their successes are not recognized, might not have another opportunity for recognition?

Who has consistently served as an example of professional excellence?

Whose time has come to be an inspiration for others?
