About the award:
Now in its 13th year, this award recognises the invaluable support many of our Affiliate member firms provide to the Association in a variety of ways. Although this is often manifest through the efforts of one or two individuals, the award is to the firm as a whole, recognising the background support that the individual representatives can draw on.
The award is judged on a number of measures, such as significant activity in a key area, hosting of events, or consistent contribution to our affairs over a long period.
No submission is required for this award.
The selection of nominees is done with input from our Board, Management Committee and the AREF Team. The Board and AREF Team then hold a vote to determine the winner.
