At the same event, ISS will present the winners of two other honors, The Leadership Award and Distinguished Crew Award. The Leadership Award is bestowed upon a person or business demonstrating commitment to the industry and whose efforts have helped the industry expand. It’s a particularly coveted tribute, as the nomination and selection committee is comprised of previous winners. The crew award, meanwhile, goes to crewmembers who demonstrably uphold the professionalism and dedication of their jobs.

As a member of ISS, I will be at the awards ceremony and will post the winners accordingly here on Megayacht News.
