How crazy is it that I received this nomination in February and naively never knew if it was 'real' or not?

Before I accepted the nomination, I did some digging and asked some trusted colleagues. Even once I established that it was indeed a valid awards programme, It still never occurred to me to use it as a promotional opportunity!

Since then, a friend recently posted an award nomination, and it has occurred to me that I should be sharing mine. Because regardless of the outcome - someone who works with SMEs has looked at what I do and thought well of it. When you look at it like that, the nomination is a #littlewin worth celebrating. I am not used to singing my own praises but I have to be honest – it feels good.

So here it is. My nomination:
