Diane Alexander, an Account Executive at SM+i since May 2015, has been nominated in the Industry Mentor category, and Christy Wright, CIS, Operations Coordinator at SM+i since January 2013, has been nominated in the Rising Star category.

These are the second and third nominations for SM+i since the Hall of Fame was established in 2009, with Senior Vice President Ellie MacPherson’s induction in the Industry Veteran category in 2015.

Inductees will be announced on August 16th at a special live ceremony for IncentiveWorks, Canada’s leading tradeshow and conference for event professionals, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

We are very proud that they are being recognized.”
