CIBPW - Woman of The Year 2010/11 Award

Kia Orana,

The Cook Islands Business & Professional Women's Association are hosting the 2010/11 Woman of The Year Awards, Friday 10th June 2011 at Muri Beach Resort Hotel, Muri, Rarotonga, Cook Islands in Association with Westpac Bank, Rarotonga.

Nomination Forms can be picked up from Westpac Bank, Stationery Supplies or CITC Pharmacy. Nominations close Monday 30th May 2011.
Once completed, place in a sealed envelope and pop into one of the special boxes Stationery Supplies or CITC Pharmacy.

This Award will recognise the success of one woman in her chosen profession. You do not have to own your own business but you must be in the work force. You could also work in the Public Sector, as a dental nurse, nurse, school teacher, police woman, firefighter as your chosen field of work.

BPW have not held this Award since 2006 and we are bringing this back to celebrate the achievements of our local women.
Part of the criteria - you must be a Cook Islander or Permanent Residence (PR status).

There will be 5 Independent Judges who will select the winner of this Award. BPW Executive Committee will not be part of the selection process of the winner, only in the selection of the judges.

The prize package includes a $2500.00 (cash) bank a/c with Westpac Bank, a return trip to NZ courtesy of Air NZ, Rarotonga, return airfares for 2 to Aitutaki, flying Air Rarotonga, a fabulous piece of jewellery from Berman's, a 2 night stay at the beautiful Pacific Resort & Spa in Aitutaki and much, much more.

BPW would like to thank Westpac Bank for coming on board as this year's major sponsor. We would like to thank Air NZ and Air Rarotonga who have continued to support these Awards over the year's.
We would also like to thank the new support we have from Bergman & Sons, Pacific Resort & Spa in Aitutaki for their generous contribution and all our other sponsors.
It goes without saying, if we did not have the support from our local businesses, this Award would not be possible.
