Do you know a talented CIO who is making a difference in your company or the industry as a whole? Is there a CIO in your business network flying under the radar that deserve a little attention? Is there an innovative company that embraces IT in a way that simply amazes you?
If the answer is yes to any of these three questions, then now is the time to show a little love and submit a nomination for the CanadianCIO of the Year Award or the Information and Technology Association of Canada’s (ITAC) Ingenious Awards.
“The CIO is the unsung hero in many companies,” says ITWC CIO Jim Love. “With both technical and business demands changing the role dramatically, they have little time to seek the limelight.”
That’s why CanadianCIO offers up the annual opportunity for the community to nominate the best and the brightest CIOs for recognition at the Ingenious Awards, a celebration that brings together the senior leadership from IT firms across the country.
The CanadianCIO of the Year Award is co-presented by ITAC and CanadianCIO (published by IT World Canada) to recognize overall excellence among Canada’s community of Chief Information Officers. This award has two recipients: one for the private sector and one for a public sector CIO.
The Ingenious Awards celebrates excellence in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) by organizations in all walks of Canadian life to solve problems, improve performance, introduce new services and grow businesses.
