JCI Manchester President 2019, Ellen Walker says:
"2019 marks the 10th anniversary of the Manchester Young Talent Awards and, in a time of rapid expansion for the city of Manchester, I have no doubt that this year will bring with it an unprecedented number of applications across all industries.
Each year we are blown away by the high calibre of the applications and overwhelming support we receive from Manchester’s business community. This is in my view testament to two things – firstly, Manchester is clearly passionate about developing its young professionals and secondly, JCI Manchester continues to play a fundamental role in helping to develop, and showcase, that talent.
Given the wealth of talent that Manchester has to offer, winning - and being shortlisted for – an award at MYTA is a huge accolade. As we have seen from previous winners, it is a great platform to go on and achieve further professional success.
Nominations will open March 2019, and will recognise up to 13 awards for those between the ages of 18 and 40 who exemplify the best attributes of Manchester’s young people. JCI Manchester will present the Young Talent Awards for 2019 at an Awards Dinner on 14th November at The Midland, Manchester."
