The nominations were shortlisted by iRAP Chairman of the Board \u2013 Miquel Nadal, and chosen by Willie. In selecting winners, Willie used the iRAP values and looked for characteristics that made her think of Peter.<\/p>\n

Willie has said previously of this special award, \u201cPeter was just so proud of iRAP and so delighted that he was part of the whole organization. He was so impressed and it was important to him. The people in the organization are so passionate, so supporting and so encouraging. This award … I know he knows about it, he\u2019s listening. He\u2019s proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In reflecting on her selection of Agustin as the Runner-Up, Willie said, \u201cAfter 10 years of impressive work to improve roads in Mexico, he is now a technical reviewer for iRAP Accreditation and his focus on data and being consistent in his assignments builds trust. He is described as reliable, thoughtful, creative, generous, helpful and committed to this work, with a contagious good mood that lifts everyone’s spirits. And those are qualities that I would use to describe Peter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In reflecting on her selection of Monica as the Winner she said, \u201cMonica is praised for her commitment across the whole breadth of road safety and for a deep seeded passion to make all roads safer. She is involved in developing many of the innovative systems and processes now in place including AiRAP, and she is methodical and displays a high level of professionalism. She engages and empowers the partners, her work and project management skills are highly respected by both clients and colleagues, and she encourages everyone to use their own skills and talents to their full potential. She makes things happen. Monica is a leader who is passionate, committed, focussed, supportive and innovative. Qualities that describe Peter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
