Nominations open for King’s Birthday Honours List
Residents are invited to submit nominations for people to be considered for the King’s Birthday Honours List
The King’s Certificate and Badge of Honour is awarded to people who have made outstanding contributions to public life or committed themselves to serving and helping Bermuda over a sustained period.
Government House said nominations should be for those who remain active in their area of focus, who may have recently retired or have had a recent significant achievement.
Nominations are considered by a local honours committee, who make recommendations to Andrew Murdoch, the Governor, via David Burt, the Premier.
The nominees should not be made aware that they have been put forward.
Nomination forms can be downloaded from www.gov.bm/governor-bermuda.
Previous recipients received honours for achievements such as:
• Making a difference to their community or field of work
• Enhancing Bermuda’s reputation
• Long-term voluntary service
• Innovation and entrepreneurship
• Improving life for people less able to help themselves
• Displaying moral courage
Honours are awarded to individuals involved in activities such as:
• Community, voluntary and local services
• Arts and media
• Health
• Sport
• Education
• Science and technology
• Business and the economy
• Civil or political service
Nominations must be accompanied by letters of support which should provide further information for the proposal.
Letters and nominations from non-family members are more likely to carry weight with the committee, Government House said.
• Completed nomination forms, along with two letters of support, must be submitted by 5pm on May 5 via e-mail to governmenthouse@gov.bm or at the Cabinet Office, 105 Front Street, Hamilton HM12
You must be Registered or to post comment or to vote.
