"BOB GAWNE"

YOUNG ACHIEVER AWARD

A key factor in the success of local businesses is the attraction, development and retention of young people. The Bob Gawne Young Achiever Award, named in honour of long serving Melbourne Business Award supporter and youth mentor Bob Gawne, identified and promoted young people who were making a significant contribution to the company where they were employed.

Young Achiever Nomination

Nominations were open to any employee 30 years or younger who:

were working in the South East Region of Melbourne
were able to demonstrate outstanding achievement in their respective field
had clear aspirations, and an outstanding attitude to their work and fellow employees
had made a significant contribution to the company which they were employed at

Judging Process

From all nominations, three to four nominees were short-listed. The award winner was judged by review of the nomination form, the nominee questionnaire, and if required, a panel interview.

The award winner was announced at the Gala Breakfast Event in late November/early December, and they were presented with a certificate and small prize.
