Profiling the finalists in tonight’s Inspire Wales Awards
Leadership may be a nebulous concept. But we all know it when we see it. At tonight’s IWA Inspire Wales awards we are honouring leaders across Wales. Few of them are publicly known figures. Their achievements are often unsung. But they are all making Wales a better place. The fact that we had the highest number of entries for this year’s awards is an encouraging indicator that despite trying times our communities are alive with ambition and determination.
Once again the judges have had a difficult task of sifting through so many inspiring stories. We could have awarded the prizes many times over. The IWA’s particular thanks go to our media partner – the Western Mail – to our many sponsors, to those who have spent time judging the awards, and to you for attending tonight and helping us recognise and celebrate success.
