Each year, the Institute seeks to recognise excellence in the intelligence profession through the AIPIO Annual Awards Scheme. The Scheme offers awards for which an individual may apply for themselves, and those for which an individual or organisation must be nominated.
In 2012, the AIPIO Board will make awards in three categories: Publications; Organisation; and Individual.
Nomination forms are to be by returned by 5pm on Friday 01 June 2012 to be considered. Completed and signed nominations forms (and copies of papers for the publications award) can be faxed to AIPIO (02) 6282 7191 or scanned and emailed to secretariat(at)aipio.asn.au. Award winners will be notified by the AIPIO Secretary by the end of June 2012.
