Business Travel Service Award - Call for Nominations

Every year GBTA recognises volunteers across the globe at GBTA Convention with the Business Travel Service Award. These professionals have devoted themselves to GBTA, their local association, their company, their fellow business associates and have made significant contributions to the industry.

Last year’s recipients were:

• Robyn Christie, GBTA Southern Africa
• Carine Morin, ServiceNow
• Jorge Mesa, BCD Travel

We know there is fantastic work being done by volunteers for GBTA and or partner associations and we would love to be able to recognise this.

Please nominate now, please consider who within your Advisory Board, Committee or association deserves to receive this award and nominate them. You can also nominate yourself. We have dramatically reduced the application form so all you need to do is say who you are nominating and why – you can access the application through this form.

The deadline for applications is 2 June after which the Europe Advisory Board will review the nominations and select up to three recipients.

(Winners will be announced at Convention and for those not attending Convention the award will be presented at the Europe conference or regional event.)

"The GBTA Sustainability Summit was one of my most important school days of the past year. I gained a much deeper insight into the concerns, trends and opportunities in driving more sustainable travel solutions... Business travel has become a powerful driver of sustainability in travel and tourism, and so much of this trend is curated by GBTA. We are honored to partner with them to achieve our common aims." – Patrick O’Meara, Head of Business Development, Sustainable Hospitality Alliance
