About the award:
This award recognises the invaluable support provided by many of our Affiliate member firms in various ways. While the efforts of one or two individuals often stand out, the award is presented to the firm as a whole, acknowledging the background support these representatives rely on.
The award is judged on several criteria, including significant activity in key areas, hosting and supporting events or consistently contributing to our affairs over an extended period.
No submission is required for this award.
Nominations are selected by the AREF Team. A vote then takes place by the AREF Board, Management Committee and Team to determine the winner.
