As many of you know, the Haliwards is my first international project. After the success of the inaugural year, I wanted to start to involve local people by the way of an Advisory Board. Here is a short and sweet look at the people who make up the 2010/2011 board. Though we have only been working together for a few weeks, I can safely say we are in for a good year!

Post-Ceremony: Haliwards
Posted by Alex on Apr 18, 2010 in Blog, Featured Articles | Comments
Ah the morning after. Some would say it’s not the best time to write a follow up post to an event but that’s what I’m doing, so if parts don’t make sense, that’s because I’m tired! Where to begin.. Well we kicked off shortly after 7:30. Surprisingly there were a handful of free seats due to some organisations buying large numbers and then not using them, but it...

![Five Years of Awards [1/3]](http://alexmaine.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/number_5-150x150.jpg "Five Years of Awards [1/3]")
If someone had said to me 5 years ago that the award ceremony planned for the following week would make a large impact on my future in the events industry I don’t think I would have believed them. I had no idea that 5 years later I would be in Nova Scotia, Canada working on yet another successful awards project. I am writing this post to commemorate our 5 year anniversary...

Firstly i would like to begin by wishing you all a very Happy New Year. It seems hard to believe that its been ten years since the millennium. I guess the calendar isn’t lying so it must be true. I am very excited about 2010. It’s rare for me to go into a new year with a project already in motion but i am pleased that the Haliwards made an unexpected comeback in...
