Bay residents are being asked to get behind leadership in New Zealand by nominating 'outstanding' leaders for the prestigious Blake Leadership Awards, held in July 2016.
The Awards have two categories The Blake Leader Awards and The Blake Medal.
The Blake Leader Awards recognise and celebrate leaders in their mid-career with the determination and belief in achieving extraordinary things. Six awards are conferred annually.
The Blake Medal is the premium award for outstanding leadership achievement in New Zealand. Its purpose is to identify and celebrate one great New Zealand leader who demonstrates the characteristics of Sir Peter himself.
The winners will be chosen for their proven ability to demonstrate leadership, to build and inspire successful teams and for their integrity.
