PATH National's Awards 2007

Susan Schofield

PATH National held its 4th Annual Awards and Dinner on Thursday, 5th July 2007, at the Emirates Stadium (home of Arsenal Football Club), Highbury in North London.

The event was attended by 290 guests including strategic partners, placement providers and other supporters as well as PATH trainees, management development students, mentors and representatives from the colleges and universities involved in delivering our programmes.

Kwami Kwei-Armah

Our keynote speaker Meg Munn MP was unable to attend having secured a new post as a result of the recent cabinet reshuffle. However, Susan Scholefield, Director General, Equalities, at the department for Communities and Local Government, stood in her place.

Dawn Butler

Our host for the evening was actor and playwright Kwami Kwei-Armah, who did an excellent job as master of ceremonies and auctioneer. Dawn Butler MP gave an inspirational address at the end of the evening.

Justin

Guests were entertained by the 'Go Salsa Dancers' Brazilian dance show and 'Dinner Jazz' provided by Justin, Saxophonist.

PATH National's Awards evening is an opportunity for our clients, providers and supporters to celebrate with us and promote excellence in partnerships and achievement.

This year we also celebrated the achievement of winning two awards for our 'Tomorrows Planners' programme at the Civil Service Diversity and Equality Awards and the RTPI Planning Awards 2006.
