Nominations are now welcome for the 2009 Lieutenant Governor's Medal for Excellence in Public Administration. This award recognizes the exceptional achievement of a person who has shown distinctive leadership in public administration in Manitoba. The nomination process affords you the opportunity to put forward the name of an individual who has made a significant and sustained contribution to public service in our province. Nominations are open until the end of August 31, 2009.

I encourage all IPAC members to consider nominating an individual who they believe qualifies for the recognition offered through this distinguished award.
