Dallas does everything big and the 12th Annual DFW Admin Awards is no exception. This year's program has broken all kinds of records including the largest number of nominations and largest number of attendees, exceeding pre pandemic numbers. We are on track to hit 640 attendees this year! That is some SERIOUS BIG LOVE for the region's extraordinary Administrative Professionals! And we're reminded that this would not be possible without Southwest Airlines, Robert Half, Marsh McLennan Agency, Stagen Leadership Academy, Toyota North America, LUMINI, Potter's House, Vizient, Inc, Bevi, Royal Catering and Beacon: The Platform for Forward-Thinking Administrative Professionals. There has been zero need to convince executives in DFW that showing up for their Administrative Professionals is important - they get it, nor has there been any need to convince area Administrators on the importance of showing up FOR public recognition and its importance in moving the profession forward. Bravo, Dallas Fort Worth, Bravo! I might still not like your football team (GO EAGLES) but I LOVE you. Here we go, DFW! https://lnkd.in/gHZQPtN

🌟 Spotlight on Recognition! 🌟 At Team Calderwood, we believe in the power of a simple 'thank you' or a well-timed shout-out. In the fast-paced world of meetings and events, recognizing the hard work and creativity of our team and peers isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential. Why? Because recognition does wonders. It boosts morale, fosters teamwork, and shows we value each other beyond just the hustle. It’s about acknowledging the human effort behind every success, making our collective journey brighter. Let’s make every opportunity to uplift one another count. From a quick note to a social media shout-out, or even a formal accolade, every gesture contributes to a culture of appreciation and excellence within our industry. 🎉 🏆 PS: With the Canadian Meetings + Events Expo (CMEE)'s Hall of Fame Awards on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to nominate someone outstanding in the meetings and events space. It’s more than just giving them a moment in the spotlight; it’s a heartfelt 'thank you' and a recognition of their contribution to our vibrant industry.

What's stopping you from entering your event or your company for an award this season? You worked hard to produce a fantastic event. Now it’s time to get the recognition you deserve; you are ready to enter either the ACE Awards, which are more geared towards caterers, or the Gala Awards, which feature categories for all types of events and producers.   Winning an award, and even receiving a nomination, has myriad benefits: * Build team morale within your company and with your creative partners * A nomination and win are tantamount to a third-party endorsement * The write-ups can be repurposed for content for months to come * It looks great in all your promotional material But, for some reason, the deadline comes and goes and so does another year for your chance to win an award. Why? As someone who has written, and judged, many awards over the years, I've addressed some common questions and concerns you might have have about entering awards in this article published today in Catersource. https://lnkd.in/gZP8NZfQ #awards #benefitsofawards #eventprofs

Throw back to a few weeks ago! It's genuinely been a privilege to have had the opportunity to serve as a jury member for the WOW Awards Middle East. It was an intense process, hours of going through submissions and was fully audited...I honestly don't trust many "Awards" these days, and I can attest, this was was the real deal. Celebrating and recognising the passion and creativity of so many talented businesses in the wedding and events industry is important! Huge congratulations in particular to Arun Bablani, Hannah Connolley, Laura Shepherd, Gauri Chadha, and Stefani Heller.🏆 However, I know that often, some who don’t win can feel deflated and disappointed. While awards hold significance and recognise hard work, it’s essential to remember that they don’t define success or reputation. True achievement lies in the dedication to our craft, the relationships we build, and the positive impact we make in our communities. Many businesses thrive successfully, making a huge impact without an award to their name. #justsaying. That said, I also feel we have to be our own biggest cheerleaders in business, and submitting our awesome work for an award or two, shouldn't be something to be ashamed of. Even better is when you are nominated by someone else! A happy client, customer or associate. What are your thoughts? Have you won an award? Has it helped your business? Do you loath them? Are you indifferent? I'm genuinely curious... #WOWAwards #BusinessJourney #WeddingBiz #WeddingEvents #DubaiEvents #MICEEvents

GreenSquareAccord has announced receiving 254 nominations for their Gold Star Awards, describing this as an impressive 42% increase over last year’s entries. However, this claim seems somewhat underwhelming, especially considering their workforce size and the upcoming expenditure for the awards ceremony. To put this in perspective, with an employee base ranging between 1,000 and 5,000, the 254 nominations represent only about 5.08% to 25.4% of their total staff. Last year’s nominations, calculated to be around 179, indicate a low participation rate. Moreover, it is important to note that these nominations are solely from staff members, with no input from customers or residents. This exclusion is disheartening, particularly considering the crucial role that customers and residents play in the organisation’s operations. Their feedback and recognition would provide a more comprehensive and authentic measure of performance and service quality. When considering the costs associated with organising and hosting an awards ceremony, including logistics, venue, awards, and lost productivity, one must question the efficiency and impact of this exercise. The expenditure seems extravagant and not necessarily reflective of broad recognition across the organisation. Given these figures and the lack of customer/resident involvement, it's crucial to consider whether the awards genuinely enhance morale and recognition or if they simply serve as a costly tradition with limited reach. In light of these numbers, the resources allocated to the Gold Star Awards might be better invested in more impactful employee and customer engagement initiatives, or better yet spent making the homes of their residents safe, warm and dry.

Is your business worth shouting about?
