The 2015 IAP2 Canada Core Values AwardsA panel of three experienced and knowledgeable Public Participation practitioners is now reviewing the entries for the 2015 IAP2 Canada Core Values Awards.
What are the IAP2 Core Values Awards?The IAP2 Core Values Awards are another way to help raise the bar in the field of public engagement: a friendly competition to encourage new approaches and innovative uses of existing ones. Each year, IAP2 affiliates around the world recognize leaders in the profession and in 2014, IAP2 Canada presented its own Core Values Awards.
The awards go to projects which best demonstrate IAP2's Core Values and P2 professionals can learn from one another and be inspired to keep raising their own standards. The winning entries will be recognized at the 2015 IAP2 North American Conference, September 9 through 11, in Portland, Oregon. 2014 IAP2 Canada Core Values Award WinnersPROJECT OF THE YEAR and EXTENDING THE PRACTICE AWARD through Creativity, Collaboration and Innovation in the Field
