About the Chairperson Awards
CEO Monthly are delighted to present the Chairperson Awards 2024! Our fourth annual opportunity to bring recognition to the often-unsung heroes who act as a linchpin for the smooth running of every corporate board and committee. As natural leaders and strategists, Chairpersons are essential to all organisations, both for-profit and non-profit. CEO Monthly aspires to celebrate the fair and decisive work of the best boardroom tacticians the world has to offer!
As society develops, so does the role of a Chairperson. In 2024, the Chair must represent the integrity and morality of a Board of Directors’ decisions, demonstrating objective judgement and driving innovation. Their management of discussions must create an atmosphere which encourages openness, honesty and constructive discourse. A Chair is highly responsible for the way in which an organisation is presented to the public and to other organisations.
It is an incredibly delicate balance to maintain, requiring a multitude of personal qualities and CEO Monthly understands the level of complexity involved in the role of a Chairperson. Through the Chairperson Awards 2024, CEO Monthly seeks to provide much deserved recognition to those who stand out from their peers in this integral position which determines the success of all organisations.
Winners of the Chairperson Awards 2024 will exhibit excellence in one or more areas of a broad range of criteria pertaining to qualities that signify a successful Chairperson.
Our in-house Research and Judging team use information available in the public domain to carefully determine the best of the best. Whether a member of a non-profit, micro-business or large corporation, winners in the Chairperson Awards 2024 will be selected using unbiased and merit-based criteria. Factors such as number of votes received, or annual business turnover do not contribute to our Judging panel’s decision.
Should you become an esteemed winner of the Chairperson Awards 2024, you will be presented with an unmissable opportunity to promote your achievements to CEO Monthly’s global subscriber base, social media following and web visitors. In addition to benefitting from the reputation boost provided by our free-of-charge accolades, you will have access to a selection of optional promotional resources to maximise the benefits of your recognition. Our digital marketing expertise and international reach are the perfect tools to help you tell your story!

Methodology
Researching our nominees
The CEO Monthly team work ardently to identify great business leaders, driving many of the nominations themselves. We also encourage external nominations via the subscribers of the magazine, online visitors, social media followers, clients and wider circulation. Nominating parties are invited to put forward either CEOs of third-party businesses whom they hold in high regard, or the CEO of the business which they are a part of.
Shortlisting our nominees
All nominees are formally requested to accept their nomination. Should any firm or individual rather decline at this point, they are simply taken out of the running. Those formally accepting are given the opportunity to submit additional materials in support of their nomination. Although there is no obligation to complete and supply material, we have found that many nominees value this stage, in the process, as much as our research team do.
Evaluating nominees
Our dedicated research team will assess all information presented to them. The team gather information independently from a variety of publicly accessible sources, which are assessed alongside any material supplied by a nominating party or the nominee themselves. The research team casts their final judgment, based on various criteria such as: business performance whilst the CEO has been in the position, any dramatic or positive change within the business since the CEO took the helm, feedback from any stakeholders during this time and any new innovations within the timeframe.
Our lucky winners
Once winners are selected, they are personally notified before any public announcement is made, allowing time for any communications throughout the wider business and the coordination of marketing strategies. Unfortunately, not everyone can be a winner; however, all who take part are encouraged to come back next year. Once the press embargo is lifted, details of our award winners will be made public via the website, award winners’ magazine and subscriber newsletter.
Share the exciting news
We are prepared to offer a range of promotional packages and items to winners in the Global CEO Excellence Awards, which vary from inclusion in the free-of-charge winners’ directory, to trophies, content in our magazine and on our website.
We encourage all winners to publicly announce their win independently in order to gain maximum exposure for them personally and for their business. Announcements via company websites, social media, via publicly released press releases, and through local and national press are all great ways of maximising the exposure which can be gained from such a great achievement. If you have need of further advice, on how to publicise your win, please feel free to get in touch. We are happy to assist our clients with their needs.
The Nomination Team can assist with answering any queries that you have regarding a nomination, or the process involved in taking part in one of our award programmes.
Please get in touch with us via email or over the phone if you have any questions - we are happy to help!
