Ambassador Co-ordinator

NTA JUDGING

Thank to all your efforts in voluntarily promoting, publicising and supporting the Awards. As a result, the West Midlands panel are busy assessing the finalists and about to start the onsite visits. Over 60% of WM entries have reached this stage which is a great improvement. There has been a great range of entries with an increase in submissions from medium and large sized organisations.

SO WHERE TO NOW? NTA 2011

I am pleased to be your regional co-coordinator again and I am making plans for the 2011 Awards, earlier this year, so that we build upon our great result in 2010.

It is a New Year and a NEW Start.

• We have new Promotional fliers NOW for you to pass on to your networks
• TWO Ambassador networking events planned for September and January

An opportunity to network and share best practice

I am looking for you to get involved in a range of opportunities by:

• Hosting an NTA Seminar  in January or February by providing a venue. This is also a good opportuintiy to promote your orgisation or business.
• Putting me in touch with membership bodies or networks that would be useful to work alongside.
• Flagging regional events or meetings where we could have a National Training Awards presence with an opportunity to give a short presentation, and/or have an information stand .
• Winners- promoting their organisation via case studies
• Nominate a new Ambassador

I would like to raise more awareness of the Awards across the West Midlands

You have the contacts.

Please email me or call me with ANY ideas or possibilites you have .
