Leadership Excellence Award nominations closing soon

TIME is running out to enter the Australian Institute of Management’s (AIM) prestigious Leadership Excellence Awards (ALEAs), with nominations and applications coming to a close on 31^st July, 2016. 

Ahead of this date, AIM CEO David Pich is encouraging people all over Australia to get involved, by putting the spotlight on someone who has made a positive impact on their community, institution or workplace over the past 12 months.

“The AIM Leadership Excellence Awards acknowledge the individual contributions and achievements of business leaders, peers, community leaders and everyday Australians. It is important to recognise the hard work and the positive changes people are making,” Pich said.

“At AIM we believe great managers and leaders make decisions that impact people’s lives. This impact is felt well beyond the workplace, which is why we see the value in acknowledging and supporting these people at every stage of their career,” he continued.

With regional and nationwide events, communities in each state and territory are encouraged to nominate a friend or colleague who they believe fits the bill. Once nominated, entrants will then need to submit their application to be shortlisted to become a category finalist. 

The annual list of nominees is spread across a number of categories:

• Leader / Manager
• Owner / Entrepreneur
• Emerging Leader
• Not for Profit
• Student (new)
• Community Leader (new)
