This Prestigious honor is awarded each year to an individual who donates time, talent, effort and expertise to community services both within our industry and in our community. The recipients of the award are among the most honored luminaries in our industry.
Consider for a moment the individuals who truly “make a difference” to those in need and whose effects give the Atlanta special events industry its true impact and high profile. Please take time to nominate someone in our industry whom you feel is worthy of this honor. Nominees should be of high moral and ethical stature and exhibit outstanding professionalism in their service to the special events industry and the community at large.

Past recipients are event professionals for 20 years or more who are well known for their contributions to the special events industry.
The title “Lifetime Achievement Award” implies a long period of time, and while honoring longevity is good, the key word is “Achievement.” We chose in 2004 to honor the late Bob Blaesing, CSEP, co-founder of Experience By Design, by renaming the award “The Bob Blaesing, CSEP, Lifetime Achievement Award.” Bob was a visionary whose philosophy exemplifies what we honor with the Lifetime Achievement Award: nurturing those around us through education; pursuit of ethical and professional behavior throughout the industry; and commitment to the growth of Special Events. May his spirit live in those who are honored with this award.
Nominees are put forward by the Allies Awards Night Board of Directors. Nominatees will be individuals who have made an impact in the Atlanta events community over the course of their career, through innovation, dedication and achievement. The winner will be selected by the Allie Awards Board of Directors and presented at the Allie Awards.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_single_image image=”681″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_outline” border_color=”black” css_animation=”bounceInRight”][vc_btn title=”Nominate For Lifetime Achievement Award” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#1e73be” outline_custom_hover_background=”#1e73be” outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fallieawards.org%2Flifetime-achievement-award-nomination%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”History of Past Recipients” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:44|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text][table id=1 /][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
