The Chairperson's Award recognises outstanding service to the caravanning and camping industry. This is a special discretionary award presented at the sole discretion of the Caravan Industry Association of Australia Chairperson.
The Chairperson's Award is one of the most personal recognitions in the industry. It gives the Association Chairperson the ability to acknowledge an individual, group or organisation that has made a contribution to the caravan and camping industry that may not fit neatly within the criteria of other awards, but which deserves recognition nonetheless.
The award is presented at the discretion of the Chairperson and is announced at the National Conference Gala Dinner.
This award is selected at the sole discretion of the Caravan Industry Association of Australia Chairperson. Nominations are not accepted.
