Nominate an Outstanding Peer for CIC's Pacesetter Award
With CIC's Hall of Leaders firmly established as the premier recognition program for lifetime achievement and leadership in the meetings, conventions, exhibitions, hospitality and travel industry, CIC has created the Pacesetter Awards to celebrate emerging leaders and industry supporters. Rather than spanning a lifetime of achievements, the Pacesetter Awards recognize people whose recent accomplishments chart a course for where the industry is today and where it is headed tomorrow.
There are three focus areas of the Pacesetter Awards:
- Young Professionals – Young professionals with a proven track record of successful leadership, and whose foresight and innovation have led to groundbreaking changes (or actions) that are making a palpable impact on the industry today.
- Sustainability and Social Responsibility – Advocates at any level of their professional careers whose proactive leadership on social responsibility initiatives and impassioned drive are moving the industry – either as a whole or in specific segments – closer to an overall adoption of accepted standards and best practices around sustainability issues.
- Leadership and Innovation– Innovators at any level of their professional careers whose ideas, approach and concepts are changing the way we think of meetings and events and how we perform our jobs. The implementation of these professionals’ techniques and/or products are helping move the industry forward in unexpected and groundbreaking ways.
Since 2012, CIC has awarded nine (9) professionals with its Pacesetter Award.
The Pacesetter Awards recognize those whose recent accomplishments speak highly of where the industry is today and chart a course for where it is headed. Measuring individual excellence, the Pacesetter Award has three focus areas Young Professionals, Sustainability and Social Responsibility, and Leadership and Innovation.
Do you know forward thinkers who have made a difference, shaped the industry into what it is today and whose body of achievement has influenced, inspired and improved the industry? If so, consider nominating that person for recognition.
