What's Hot at the Institute of Management

NZIM/Eagle Technology Young Executive of the Year Award 2012

'The awards process is valuable for an individual, but also for the organisation you work for. Even the application is an acknowledgement and celebration of your achievements together, which is important.' Regional winner 2011 - Matthew Carter, Southern.

'Being involved in the Young Executive of the Year Award in 2011 has been a valuable and worthwhile experience. I’ve met some fantastic people - from young leaders also participating in the Awards, to senior New Zealand leaders who have been involved in the assessment and interview process.' Regional winner 2011 - Hamish McBeath, Northern.

Nominations for the Award are now open. National Judging of regional winners will be in September. On the 29th of November the National Winner will be announced at the Top 200 Awards in Auckland.

Nominations Close 18th May, 2012
