THE AWARDS<br />

The <strong>Principal</strong> Officer’s Association (POA) has teamed up with Global<br />

Pensions, which is a renowned UK based Publisher to host a service<br />

provider’s awards ceremony in South Africa. It is branded the ‘<strong>Imbasa</strong><br />

<strong>Yegolide</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Excellence</strong>’. <strong>Principal</strong> Officers will nominate<br />

their favourite service providers worthy of an award.<br />

The aim is to reward those service providers who render excellent service to<br />

funds. Global Pensions will manage the nominations and assessments and<br />

the POA will manage the event. Not only is this a FIRST FOR AFRICA but<br />

also the first of its kind to be hosted outside of the UK. The UK Pension<br />

<strong>Awards</strong> are in their 12th annual year of hosting this event.<br />

This awards ceremony aims to be the single largest gathering of the<br />

corporate pensions industry in South Africa, offering you the opportunity to<br />

mingle and network with the “who’s who” of the retirement industry. The<br />

gala event will be a dazzling black tie function, starting off with a welcoming<br />

drink reception and includes a plated 3 course <strong>for</strong>mal dinner whilst<br />

witnessing the stars of the industry collect their accolades of excellence.<br />

Screens will feature the winners as they are announced and picked out by<br />

spotlights as they make their way to the stage to receive their awards. The<br />

awards will be featured in an industry related trade publication.<br />

The event will coincide with the POA’s annual conference, which will be held<br />
