The Governor’s Office is inviting people to submit nominations for the 2024 King’s birthday honours list.
In a statement inviting nominations on Tuesday, the Governor’s Office asked, “Do you know someone who has made an exceptional contribution to the Cayman Islands or British interests? Someone who stands out for sustained and exceptional achievement and service?”
It added that the annual call for honours nominations is an “opportunity to recognise people who have given exceptional and selfless service over a sustained period of time and are given to people from all walks of life and all sections of society”.
It noted that the honours are awarded to individuals who are making a difference to their community or field of work; who are enhancing Britain’s reputation and that of the overseas territories; who are engaged in long-term voluntary service, innovation or entrepreneurship; who are changing things, with an emphasis on achievement; who are improving life for people less able to help themselves; or who are displaying moral courage.
Nominations are reviewed by the Honours Committee which in turn advises the Royal, Ceremonial and Honours Unit, part of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in the UK.
The deadline for the committee in Cayman to receive nominations is 3 Nov. 2023.
Nomination can be submitted to the Governor’s Office using one of the following:
- By email: [email protected]
- By hand: Drop off at the reception desk at the Government Administration Building, 133 Elgin Avenue, Grand Cayman
- By post: Suite 101 Government Administration Building, Grand Cayman KY1-9000, Cayman Islands, by the earlier deadline of 1 Nov. 2023
