   On being appointed Chair of the Human Resources Awards Judging Committee, Chris told us: “It’s an honor to Chair the 2018 Human Resources Awards Judging Committee and to be a part of the IBA judging process.  As someone who has been involved with the Stevie Awards for many years, I’m convinced of the value they bring, at a local and international level, for organizations of any size, and in most relevant areas of business. It’s so important to have an open platform for companies to showcase their outstanding achievements and encourage innovation & growth. As Mark Twain said: To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble.”
