The CFOFO Executives would like to thank and congratulate all the award recipients once again and their nominators for taking the time to complete the nomination packages. We realize that the contributions made by the recipients were solely done without any intention of receiving anything in return; however, due to the award recipients selfless sacrifices, dedication and commitments to their various mandates in their respective community, we all have collectively benefited. And for this, we are truly grateful. CFOFO’s intention is to make this gala an annual event, and we hope that award recipients will take the time to pay it forward and nominate someone else deserving of this recognition next year.
