RADAR Awards
The RADAR Award programme is designed to acknowledge an employee, irrespective of age or vocation, who, in the eyes of his or her employer, displays outstanding qualities in terms of approach, attitude, dedication and commitment to his or her job.
The RADAR Awards programme has been added into the 2026 list of projects undertaken by the Rotary Club of Port Nicholson. Its purpose is to acknowledge excellence in the workplace and recognise individuals whose outstanding service and contributions often go under the radar and deserve public recognition. These RADAR Awards are part of the wider Rotary Club of Port Nicholson's Awards programme.
Nominating candidates for RADAR Awards
Nominations are invited from local Wellington businesses and organisations. The programme recognises individuals who have consistently provided excellent service to their workplace and community. Closing date for applications is 14 September.
The inaugural RADAR Awards presentations will be held on 14 October 2026. As this is a pilot year, the first nominees have been approached by Rotarians. In future years, the programme will be held earlier in the year and applications will be sought from Wellington-based businesses.
A maximum of four RADAR Awards will be presented each year.
Selection and 2026 RADAR Awards Breakfast
Individuals who are nominated will be invited to attend a selection interview. Successful nominees will then be invited to attend the RADAR Awards breakfast at 7.00 am on 14 October at The Wellington Club, Level 5, 88 The Terrace, Wellington. This is the usual Club meeting time and venue for Rotarians of the Rotary Club of Port Nicholson.
The Awards function will be dedicated to acknowledging the successful nominees. There will be no first, second, or overall winners. All successful nominees will be recognised equally. Each recipient will receive a handsome plaque and a certificate.
Fellow workmates and management are warmly invited to attend the breakfast and support their colleague. Each successful nominee and their nominator will receive a complimentary breakfast.
Supporters attending on behalf of their organisation are asked to register for the breakfast at a cost of $30 per person.
Confirmation of attendees will be required one week prior to the RADAR Awards breakfast.
