Three Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ alumni were honoured last evening at the Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ Foundation’s fourth annual Distinguished Alumni Awards dinner and award ceremony held at the ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ’s Tourism and Culinary Centre. APM’s Tim Banks, Waldorf Astoria New York’s Chef David Garcelon, and Light & Vision Photography’s Louise Vessey received awards.

Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ President Brian McMillan said that Mr. Banks, Chef Garcelon, and Ms. Vessey are tremendous examples of Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ graduates who have achieved great success in their careers and are an inspiration for current and future students.

“Since its establishment in 1969, Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ has proudly graduated more than 28,000 students who have made their careers in industries that range from health to construction, golf to bioscience, and hospitality to policing. This year’s honourees have brought distinction and pride to our ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ through their personal and professional accomplishments,” he said.

“Alumni are an important part of the Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ family,” said Quentin Bevan, board chair for the Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ Foundation. “Celebrating the accomplishments of outstanding alumni who have excelled in their chosen careers, industries, and communities is an annual ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ highlight.”
Nominations for the ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ’s Distinguished Alumni Awards are accepted year round, with a public call for nominations issued annually. The deadline for consideration for Holland ¼â½ÐÊÓƵ’s 2012 Distinguished Alumni Awards is June 30, 2012.
