Jonathan Cheshire, Chairman of the Selection Committee for the STI Awards and STI Trustee said, „Every national member of STI will have come across well deserving candidates for the STI Awards this year – there have been some fantastic examples of best practice out in the field. So it’s down to you to give these organisations and people the recognition they deserve and nominate them. It not only benefits them and the sail training community, but you could even nominate yourself – which is a terrific marketing opportunity to promote your own organisation to an international audience. All you have to do is fill in a form – it’s that easy.“
