Pride of Workmanship Awards
John Lynch recently approached the Whitehorse Business Group (WBG) with a proposal relating to the Incorporation of our Rotary Pride of Workmanship program into 2021 Whitehorse Business Group (WBG) Excellence in Business Awards.
It appears that the negotiations have gone well. John will have further discussions with the group to finalise arrangements.
For background info on Pride of workmanship, I include an extract from John's initial communication with WBG below:
The Rotary Club of Nunawading conducted annual Pride of Workmanship Awards for 5 years from 2011 – 2015.
We held the function annually with about 80 attendees including nominees, employers, co-workers, families and Rotarians.
Over this period, we had approximately 60 nominees in total with cash prizes for the top 3 nominees each year.
The Awards were well supported but we found that we were getting nominations from the same businesses every year.
In 2016, we suspended the program because we wanted to address a broader cross-section of the local business community.
We now feel that we might be able to draw on our partnership with WBG to possibly revive the Awards.
Local businesses promote the Pride of Workmanship theme of "Do it once- do it well" throughout their organisation and nominate employees worthy of recognition,
not only within their organisation, but the wider community. Nominees of the Pride of Workmanship Program are presented with a trophy in recognition of their achievements.

We would love to incorporate the Pride of Workmanship Award into the Excellence in Business Awards as well as continuing our existing sponsorship.
The Rotary Club can fund all the prizes and other costs as well selecting the winners.
Promotion of the Awards by the WBG will greatly increase the coverage and prestige of the event.
