At the Centre for Public Engagement (CPE), we believe that every voice has the power to inspire and drive impactful change. Our new Engagement Champion Initiative is designed to recognise and celebrate individuals who go above and beyond to foster a positive, inclusive, and engaged environment within our community.
Nomination Process Each month: we invite both self-nominations and peer nominations through a quick and easy Microsoft Form. If you know someone who embodies the spirit of engagement - or if you believe you do - simply fill out the form to share your story and make your nomination!
Champion Recognition Each month’s Engagement Champion(s) will receive a certificate of appreciation to honour their contributions. In addition, we’ll highlight their achievements across our platforms: with special spotlights in our newsletter, on X, and a permanent spot on our Engagement Champions Wall of Fame.
Join us in building a culture that values and promotes meaningful engagement. Nominate yourself or a colleague today, and let’s shine a light on those who make a difference!
