LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER
The WMAF board is reviewing the criteria for nominations for the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. To ensure all nominees are adequately represented in the process, the board is developing a comprehensive application form to support nominations for 2011, and is gathering input from key stakeholders in the industry. In view of the lack of consistency in the nominations this year, the judges have not named a winner for 2010. The Board recognizes that there are several candidates who are worthy of nomination and its decision not to offer this award this year is not a reflection of them.
