Margaret honoured with lifetime achievement award
Margaret Dane, AGCAS CEO, has won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the TARGETjobs National Graduate Recruitment Awards 2011. Margaret was presented with the award by Donna Miller, European HR Director at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, at the awards dinner in London on 31 March.
Chris Philips, Publishing Director at GTI Media, said:
"I have personally known Margaret for more than twenty years and I was delighted that GTI was able to recognise her contribution to careers advice, guidance and employer involvement in such a public way – in front of over 900 representatives of the recruitment community. GTI was built on its strong relationship with universities and careers services and so it's especially sweet for us to give Margaret this very well deserved award."
Margaret said:
"I was surprised and thrilled to be given this special award and a standing ovation at a major national awards dinner attended by so many careers and employer friends and colleagues. It was a pleasure to be presented with this award by Donna Miller, who has been such a staunch supporter of AGCAS over the years. I felt quite overwhelmed by the many congratulations and good wishes I received afterwards and it is very gratifying to know that my contribution to careers guidance and graduate employability and development has been valued and recognised in this way. I would like to think that it is also symbolic of the close collaboration that has existed for decades between HE careers services and graduate employers. AGCAS has also enjoyed a good relationship with GTI over the decades and values their on-going support."
