Nominations are now being received for the AFAC/Motorola Knowledge Innovation Award. This is the second year this award has been offered and comprises two categories:

Individual Award

In recognition of the innovation, creativity and contribution an individual staff member or volunteer has made to the advancement of knowledge management in their agency or jurisdiction.

Agency Award

In recognition of an AFAC member agency for its demonstrated commitment to ensuring knowledge management is an accepted and valued management practice.

We are extremely grateful that Motorola have agreed to fund this Award once again. The value of each Award is as follows:

Individual Award

The Award winner will be sponsored by Motorola to attend a Conference of their choice to the value of $2500. This may include conference registration fees, travel, accommodation and sundry expenses.

Agency Award

In recognition of their efforts to assist with growing a knowledge management culture, the winning Agency will have their name placed on a perpetual trophy that will be displayed in the AFAC office, and also receive a plaque in recognition of their efforts.

AFAC will profile Award winners on the AFAC Knowledge Web and Corporate website and through the AFAC newsletter. Winners will also be able to display details of the Award through their own communication channels.
