The Award

Inspiration in the arts, inspiration in business. Sometimes it can be the vision and dedication of an individual that makes the difference between the good and the excellent. Our finalists are all board members who have gone that extra mile, who’ve put in more hours, brought in more expertise, or made those lasting connections that a organisation needs in these hard economic times.

"Tough times call for strong leadership. Prudential’s record of 160 years of financial prudence could never have been achieved without a culture that combines security with innovation, responsibility with foresight. This prize for board member of the year honours those individuals who’ve gone that extra mile to bring the same levels of excellence to the organisations they represent and we’re proud to be its sponsor."
Helen Ellis, Head of Corporate Responsibility and Community Relations, Prudential
