EFC Logo

February 2, 2023

It takes one individual or company to make a difference. Whether they demonstrate strong leadership or a commitment to contributing to the health of the industry, it is important to recognize these individuals to breed success. Nominating an individual for their commitment and successful accomplishments builds our community to grow, lead and compete in an ever-changing world.

Recipients will be honoured at this year’s 2023 Industry Conference in Charlevoix, QC, during the awards gala.

Annually EFC recognizes a select group of leaders of the member community through its Industry Awards program. The annual awards include:

CEMRA Person of the Year | IRA | Trailblazer | Corporate Engagement Excellence

Only one submission from each nominee’s company is necessary. For example: 5 submissions from one company, for the same nominee, is not required.

Nominations from members are now open for the following awards:

Since 2000, EFC has been recognizing top individuals who have made a difference to CEMRA and the rep business in Canada by demonstrating leadership, commitment, and outstanding support.
