The Road Safety Authority is calling on the people of Mayo to nominate leading lights in road safety as part of the 2010 Leading Lights in Road Safety Awards. The awards recognise the extraordinary contribution of people across Ireland to make road use safer for everyone.
This year the categories have been extended to include Road Safety Officer of the Year; Approved Driving Instructor of the Year; Road Safety Ambassador of the Year; Young Road Safety Ambassador of the Year; Public Sector (Fire Services, Gardaí, Paramedics, Local Authorities ) and Business (SMEs and large employers ). This year, there will also be an open award category where people can nominate any individual or group who has made a contribution to road safety.
In addition to the category awards, one winner will be chosen to receive a supreme award. This will be presented to an individual or group for the most innovative and outstanding road safety initiative, leadership, and exemplary dedication to the area of road safety.
The closing date for submitting a nomination is Friday September 24. The entries will be judged by a panel of experts who will be announced by the Road Safety Authority shortly. The shortlisted entries will be announced on Monday October 4. Further information on the categories and how to nominate a Leading Light is available at www.rsa.ie/leadinglights
