2011 Brickell Key Award Nominations Announced
This year we are announcing the nominees for the Brickell Key Awards in advance of our conference in Long Beach on May 3rd to 6th. The awards will be presented at our banquet dinner on May 5th. All attendees of the conference are invited to attend the event for an additional $75 fee.
You can read about the nominees here
I’d like to congratulate (in no particular order)... Russell, Yuval, Mattias, Siddharta, Chris and Richard, for their nomination. It is a great honor to be nominated and as I know all of them personally, I believe them all to be worthy winners. I think we have a very healthy and strong community and the strength of this year’s nominations makes this clear.
I am sure that many of you will recognize the candidates as regular contributors to this list and the Kanban community. There are still a few days to influence the selection committees decision. We will be picking the winners soon. We need lots of lead time in order to have the trophies made. However, the winners will be kept a very closely guarded secret until May 5th. Last year’s winners, David Joyce and Alisson Vale will be presenting the prizes to the 2011 recipients.
If you would like to advocate for one or more of our nominees please email me directly before the end of this week to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). All supporting evidence for the candidacy of a nominee will be taken in to consideration by the selection committee.
This year’s selection committee consists of 6 members, me, Don Reinertsen, Karl Scotland, Alan Shalloway, and last year’s winners David Joyce and Alisson Vale.
