We'll give you the world. The call for nominations for the 19th annual BC Export Awards, an annual event that celebrates the innovative approaches and unique contributions of B.C. export companies and individuals in the exporting business, was launched today. In 2001, we have built upon our traditional award categories and incorporated new sector awards. This will help us recognize leading value-added exporters in each sector of our economy as well as those companies and individuals that are using innovative business practices in the international market. The leadership award is open to individuals.
Educational institutions nominate candidates for the international business studies award.
The call for nominations will close on June 29, 2001. The 2001 awards ceremony will be held at a luncheon on Oct. 22 at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre Hotel. Its members represent 75 per cent of Canada's manufacturing output and 90 per cent of exports. CME has strong divisions in every province and a national office in Ottawa.
