Nominate your “PA of the Year 2009”

It's time for you, the boss, to evaluate your PA and ask yourself the question: Does she (or he) have what it takes to be PA of the Year? If you reckon so, then nominate your personal assistant for the "PA of the Year" awards, now in their fourth year. They are organised by Dictum Publishers, the same driving force behind of the "Boss of the Year" awards.

Efficient PAs are the absolute "bricks and mortar" of every successful office - be it in the corporate sector, government or civil society. The annual PA of the Year Award identifies them and gives them the recognition they deserve.

The organisers are Dictum Publishers in association with ICAP. The award was launched in 2006 and was the first award to introduce the concept of strict peer-to-peer evaluation and judging. The number of nominations has increased greatly over the past three years and, last year, two male PAs made it to the semi-finals and one to the finals.
