Inviting nominations for the HMA Hall of Fame Award


New in 2024, here forever!

We are thrilled to invite submissions for the inaugural HMA Hall of Fame Award.

This is a HMA Board-appointed accolade, intended to honour a sustained and significant contribution to the manufacturing sector in our region by an individual or organisation.

We are taking a dual approach to finding potential candidates - HMA Board members and members of the manufacturing community will all have the opportunity to forward a nomination on behalf of the person or organisation they believe is deserving of this recognition.

This will be an open-style submission, with a guide content of 300-500 words, which should focus on some or all of the following reasons:

  • Sustained contribution to the economic growth of the region (e.g. jobs, innovation, community works)
  • Longitude of service
  • Career history and involvement in advocacy/raising awareness of the manufacturing sector
  • Demonstrated impact

Please send your nominations to info@hma.org.au by August 9.

The recipient will be informed ahead of the Gala night, to ensure they have the opportunity to bring their family or supporters along - what a lovely opportunity for you to be the reason an amazing advocate for manufacturing in our region is acknowledged by and in front of their peers!

 

Thank you to our Hall of Fame sponsor Civmec.
