One to Watch

The award

Do you know someone who is a rising star in sports governance? Someone who early in their career is making a significant contribution to governance in their organisation or in the sport and physical activity sector?

These are the people who are proactive in embracing new challenges, who show imagination and energy, and who are resilient in the face of adversity. The ones who help and support colleagues and who are unafraid to learn from their mistakes.

Judging criteria

The judges are looking for nominees who demonstrate the above qualities and more, who make a positive impact in the organisations for which they work, and even beyond. They are looking for evidence of why nominees are showing the attributes to make an impression on the sector's governance, who can be an asset to the sector for years to come and why in particular this is the year they should win an award.
