Richard Massey CMgr FCMI - Highly Commended 2022
Richard Massey CMgr FCMI has been awarded the highly commended title for the 2022 Chartered Manager of the Year award.
Being nominated for CMI Chartered Manager of the Year is a genuine honour and a recognition of the years I've spent working hard to hone my craft as a manager and leader within education in Northern Ireland. Effective management and leadership rarely comes easy and requires a significant sacrifice in terms of time for listening, looking, thinking, supporting and of course sheer hard labour - this nomination is a valuable recognition of this commitment - I am so appreciative.
