IPMA Young Crew Announces Call for Nominations for the 2011 Young Project Manager Award

All applications are due by June 17, 2011 for consideration.

May 4, 2011:  IPMA Young Crew, the premier global organization dedicated to supporting future leaders in project management, today announced the call for nominations for the 2011 IPMA Young Project Manager Award. This award brings visibility to a growing demographic of emerging project managers who are passionate about project management, and who have participated in or led successful projects that have had an impact on international business.

Introduced in 2006 at the IPMA Young Crew conference in Shanghai, China, the IPMA Young Project Manager Award recognizes rising talent in the project and program management industries by honoring young project managers for their accomplishments early in their careers.  These honorees have demonstrated invaluable impact to the profession and for the companies for whom they work, and are on the fast track to becoming project leaders and influencers on an international scale.

The IPMA Young Project Manager Award is open to project managers aged 18 to 35 at the time of application who have worked or are currently working on a project for at least six months. The criteria for evaluation of the award are based upon the ICB International Competence Baseline, and finalists will be chosen based upon the strength of their overall nomination package. Members and non-members of IPMA are eligible to apply. Finalists and winner of the award will each receive a financial sponsorship of 1,500€ to attend the IPMA Young Crew Conference and Workshop in Brisbane, Australia in October 2011.

“The IPMA Young Project Manager Award continues to be the only global award of its kind that acknowledges the talent of project managers who are in the beginning stages of their project management careers, “ says Jhaymee S. Wilson, Programme Manager for the award. “This year’s award will be very competitive, and we are excited to demonstrate our commitment to future project leaders.”
