Press Release
January 2011: Shared Services & Outsourcing Week Introduce New Awards Categories for the 2011 Shared Services Week SSON Excellence Awards
Important Information Regarding Changes to Your Awards Program
While our mission stays the same, to honor, recognize and promote both captive and outsourced SSOs that demonstrate winning practices, we want to make it easier for you to enter. Everyone is encouraged to apply regardless of age, size, shape and model.
- Introducing the “Excellence In” Series: We’ve crafted 5 new categories around the core competencies of shared services and outsourcing. We are no longer asking you to claim your SSO as “best,” but rather enter into the category in which you excel beyond the normal.
- Awards Activity Onsite: An All Inclusive Celebration. This year’s awards ceremony has been worked into the main agenda of the 2011 SSOW program. At the conclusion of the sessions on Wednesday, March 2, the Awards Ceremony will begin in the main plenary room. Our judging faculty will recognize each of the shortlisted candidates for their achievements “in excellence.” This ceremony is followed by our cocktail hour in the exhibit hall, followed by an evening BBQ for all attendees, followed by the announcement of our 2011 award winners.
- Announcing the Brand New Personal Contribution to the Industry Award. No longer will our judging faculty choose between a list of applicants for this individual achievement award. This year it’s about the People’s choice. You decide whose worthy of receiving this honorable award.

The People’s Choice: Announcing the Brand New Personal Contribution to the Industry Award
This year we’ve made some changes to our individual excellence award. While our mission stays the same - to honor and recognize the one person who stands out above the rest, you need to tell us who’s impacted you in a BIG way.
WHO votes? Leader chosen 100% by the public. That’s right, no judging faculty on this one. Since this person is being recognized for their influence over the entire community, it no longer makes sense to limit the voting to only a few.
WHAT makes them a candidate? This person will have impacted the industry outside of their standard role, going above and beyond pushing the boundaries of innovation and idea sharing. Buy or Sell Side, the ultimate decision will be left up to you.
WHEN to vote: Now. We are currently accepting nominations.
WHERE will the winner be announced? During the Award Ceremony at the SSOW on Wednesday, March 2.
WHY you need to vote: Because we know that some of the industry’s most deserving are too modest to put themselves forward.
HOW to nominate: Please send your vote to naomi.secor@iqpc.com. Deadline for submissions in Wednesday, February 23.
