One Southern Indiana (1si) is accepting nominations for the 2015 ACE Awards. The event will be held November 17th from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at Kye's II in Jeffersonville.

ACE is an acronym for Achieving and Celebrating Excellence. The ACE

Awards celebrates remarkable individuals who exemplify the character and acumen of exceptional leadership, making them outstanding citizens in the business and regional community. Each award acknowledges their contributions to Southern Indiana and their profession, both through their careers and personal lives. This luncheon is estimated to draw approximately 300 people. It is a spin off from the ONE Awards, which will now focus on businesses.

We are now seeking nominations for the following award categories:

The James W. Robinson Young Professional of the Year award is given to young professionals (under the age of 40) in our business community for their career achievements, community service and the promise they have shown for being the next generation of successful business leaders.

The Kevin Hammersmith Community Leader Award honors an individual whose volunteer involvement has been significant and impactful, resulting in measurable improvements in the lives of individuals within his/her community.

The Sam Day Professional of the Year award is open to anyone who is in the professional field (Accountants, architects, attorneys, bankers, CEOs, doctors, engineers, brokers, agents of insurance, realtors and executives of nonprofits) and who has exemplified a commitment to success in their company and/or community.

A copy of the nomination form can be found here.

Please complete the form and return to Josh Suiter at JoshS@1si.org by September 21. If you are interested in sponsoring this event, please contact Josh at (812) 206-9024 or JoshS@1si.org.
