Gifted Grades
We like to recognise those doing good work in the business continuity and resilience industry. That’s why we occasionally give honorary awards.
Honouring business continuity heroes
Certified members of AMBCI grade and above can nominate someone they think deserves recognition. Then our board reviews the suggestions and awards the grades. Applications are now closed for 2023.
Recipients of Gifted Grades are announced at the BCI Global Awards ceremony in November.
