It’s time to Nominate New Brunswick’s Best in the Knowledge Industry
Fredericton, NB – This year marks the 11th annual KIRA awards recognizing New Brunswick’s best and brightest in a variety of knowledge industry sectors. Known provincially as a gala event, KIRA 2009 will be one to remember. On Thursday May 7th, KIRA 2009 will celebrate and recognize New Brunswick’s excellence in the knowledge industry through awards for Technological Advancement/Innovation, Most Promising Start-up and Industry Person of the Year just to name a few.
“With a growing need for innovation and stimulation in today’s economy, the KIRA awards are truly an event that recognizes the talent and hard work that is being done in New Brunswick.” said KIRA 2009 Co-Chair, Colleen Benson. “With great networking opportunities and a chance for industry leaders to share ideas, KIRA 2009 is a testament to New Brunswick’s knowledge industry.”
Now in its 11th year, receiving a KIRA Award remains coveted. Proudly displayed in offices and mentioned in email signatures, KIRA recipients have proven that they are leaders in their specific fields and their work is revered nationally and internationally.
“Recognizing New Brunswick’s knowledge industry leaders not only gives much deserved credit to these innovative individuals and organizations,” said Carolyn Kervin KIRA 2009 Co-Chair. “It also shows our appreciation for their success by dedicating this gala event in their honor.”
