Hi Cheryl,
I would like to nominate Melissa Brown , Blenz Coffee. She does an amazing
amount of work to support artists in the community. She supports them by
offering them space at Blenz Coffee to show and sell their work. She's on
the executive of SWAC and was very involved in the Westside Culture Days.
Cheers
Mary

OBE Members
As you know there will be a new award given out this year which addresses
the groups commitment to being dedicated to the wellbeing of our community.
There are many charitable things that go on in the background that the
group does not hear about and this is the time to let it be known.
Members are asked to nominate one of the following:
A fellow member
A fellow members business
Yourself
Your business
Feel free to nominate as many members as you feel appropriate.
The nomination should be in the form of an email to chair@xxxxxxx and
should include the name of the person or business being nominated and the
reason why.
*All nominations must be received by the end of day, this Friday (November
13th). *I have included below, the Charter exert that covers this new
award.
*ALSO *remember there is *no meeting this week* and the following week
come prepared to vote for the recipient of the “Founders Award” which is
the person you feel has made the greatest contribution to the group this
year.
Have a great week.
*Community Impact Award* – In keeping with the mission to be dedicated to
the prosperity and wellbeing of our community – members nominate
themselves, their business, an individual or members business outlining
why they feel they exemplify this part of the group’s mission. All
nominations will be submitted to the OBE Chair by the deadline set out by
the Executive. The winner will be decided by the Chair and Vice-Chair. In
the case that either the Chair or Vice-Chair are included in the
nominations, they would be in a conflict of interest and will ask either
the past chair or another of the current Executive to take their place in
the judging.
