Three days to go

Thankyou to all those people who have sent in nominations for Baptistcare's Inaugural Recognition Awards. It is good to see people taking up the opportunity to nominate Baptistcare staff and give them recognition for putting our values into practice in their daily work.

Nominations close on Wednesday, August 1, so if you have been thinking about making a nomination I encourage you to get on to it straight away. Nomination forms can be downloaded here .

We have some amazing people working at Baptistcare and I am looking forward to giving the judges a hard time in determining who should receive our awards. I would also encourage you to follow the links to find out about the generous companies that are sponsoring these awards:
