I have been reading through lots of paperwork for the next meeting.
I have had to read through 108 USDAW Organising Awards nominations forms.
I need to pick one person for each of the 9 categories who I think deserve the awards.
This is the hardest part of being an USDAW Divisional Councillor, as I know that each person who has been nominated has done an amazing job representing USDAW and their members.
It makes it hard to decide when there are so many people who have done very similar things during the year.
I have decided on who I will be voting for in three of the categories. The other six I have drawn up a short list and I will look at these over the next two days before the Midlands Divisional Council meeting on Wednesday 28th October 2015.
I'm pleased to say that every single person who has been nominated will receive a framed certificate in recognition for there nomination.
The 9 winners of the Midlands Divisional awards will be invited to attend the USDAW National awards Presentation night in Manchester in January 2016 where they will be presented with there Regional award and they will enjoy a three course meal, over night stay and the ceremony revealing the National award winners.
I have been lucky enough to be a regional award winner and the experience of the awards presentation is amazing.
I send my congratulations to every nominee and wish you all the best of luck.
I will not list any of the regional award winners until they have been officially announced at a later date.
