Recognition is evolving
The NACFB is thrilled to announce that submissions are now being accepted for the prestigious Commercial Lender Awards. Formerly known as the NACFB Patron Awards, the 2023 awards have been rethought, refreshed, and revitalised.
The new look awards, open to both NACFB Patron lenders and Partner suppliers, now feature several exciting new award categories alongside an enhanced judging process. The NACFB warmly invites both membership cohorts to make their submissions, free of charge, across as many pertinent categories as they deem fit.
To stand a chance of being recognised, participants are urged to succinctly present to the judging panel, in a limit of 300-words per category, their accomplishments and significant contributions to the lending industry. The deadline for all submissions is 5pm on Friday 8th September 2023.
NACFB Chair, Paul Goodman, commented: “Recognition is evolving. Though our awards now have a fresh name, look, process, and categories, our mission remains the same: to acknowledge and reward lending excellence.” Come early October, the Commercial Lender Awards’ eagerly awaited shortlist will be unveiled, culminating in a grand award ceremony set to take place
