This award will be presented to the individual whom the judges feel has been business continuity's greatest ambassador over the course of the past judging year. Examples would include practitioners, academics, and other leaders who may be active on the conference circuit; who may have produced presentations or papers on business continuity and resilience or who have contributed to industry's wider understanding of the topic in an exceptional way. Nominations must be made in the form of a 2,000 word statement by an individual other than the nominee. The industry will then be given the opportunity to register their vote for the individuals nominated. Voting dates will be announced in advance.
