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.
