We have pleasure in inviting nominations for the Young Professional of the Year 2022, worth £250 to the winner, together with the opportunity to be presented with the certificate and cheque at the Annual Dinner on Friday 25th March 2022.

The David Grimley Memorial Award for the Young Professional of the Year 2022 is sponsored by DWF LLP (www.dwf.law). The award is to recognise the professional development and achievement of young people in our area.

To allow sufficient time for the panel to review all nominations, send completed applications by email to exeterinstitute@cii.co.uk before the closing date on 18th February 2022.

Entry Criteria:

• Nominations may be supported by references from clients or customers.

• If you have been nominated or have nominated someone previously, this is not a bar to a nomination for this year's award.

• Examination success will be taken into account but will not be the sole or main factor.

Points to Consider:

• The judges are looking for professional development in the broadest sense and will wish to recognise someone who, in line with the CII definition of CPD, can demonstrate their professional development by 'the acquisition of knowledge, experience and skills and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout working life'.

• Employers and managers in the local institute's area are invited to nominate any number of people within their own company to be considered by a panel as worthy of being selected for one of the top three places from whom the overall winner will be chosen.

Nominations will be adjudicated by a panel comprising President/Past President, Deputy President and Education Secretary.
