2021 Winners Volunteer of the Year
The Volunteer of the Year Award recognises outstanding volunteering achievement and contribution to CMI. The individual demonstrates CMI’s values, and shows a high level of commitment, dedication, leadership and impact that has been delivered against CMI’s strategic objectives.

Congratulations to our 2021 Volunteer of the Year
Katie has been chosen as overall winner for this Award due to her extensive involvement with CMI over the last seven years. As part of her contribution to CMI Women, she is the regular Chair for the London Women’s Hub meetings. Here, volunteers meet to discuss interesting and relevant Diversity and Inclusion topics and CMI strategy, and how these might play into prospective events. Katie also has an active role in the London Board, devising innovative ways of engaging members, using her own network to arrange speakers and spearheading CMI events.
I really love CMI and the impact that it has on aspiring managers and leaders, so it’s fantastic to be shortlisted for something that I really enjoy doing. It is a great achievement for me, and I am so pleased to have my work, and the work of the CMI Women Hub recognised like this.
