Recognising outstanding achievements by professional bodies in Ireland

It's inspiring for a start. It inspires the team so that they realise they're doing something valuable when they get selected and it puts you up against other people that excel in their areas you know it's really important to match yourself like that I think

We were surprised and we were delighted. We didn't expect to win because the calibre was so high so we were absolutely thrilled. We were delighted to be chosen.

Super chuffed to win the award. It's a huge validation of our membership model to win best membership services at The Association and Institutes Awards 2024

We had no expectation of this at all but having said that we're delighted that it's been recognised what we're doing for our members and thereby for our students that we see every day of the week.

We're absolutely thrilled! We're very proud of this programme. There are only 36 of us in the Institute. The category we were in, there were 10 and they were tremendous so I was quite surprised actually. Really excited but it's great. It's great to see associations being recognised.

Absolutely wonderful! Our publication is a newsletter for tenants so I feel like I'm collecting this on behalf of the tenants. They all contribute to the newsletter. I mean absolute honour to win and compete tonight. The sky's the limit for Woven as far as tonight's concerned.

Team were thrilled. We are a team-based organisation but we're very member-focused so I'm just so happy for the team, for our board, and all our volunteer members who are core to our member organisation. The calibre was so high. We knew we were in a very tight competition and this is really unexpected and a kudos to all our finalists.

We were very excited and delighted this is a joint initiative for trade association so I think it really sums up everything that the association awards are all about.

I think events like this are extremely important for associations and institutes. The calibre of the contestants was extremely strong and quite privileged to win this award and I'm thankful to my team to be here tonight.

We are absolutely delighted to win Best Membership Services for the second year in a row at the Association and Institutes Awards. It's a huge value for us, for the sector, in terms of the research and innovation that we bring to the world of education and learning both locally and internationally. Really great competition, we were absolutely delighted to win tonight.

Absolutely overwhelmed, we're really excited, it's a huge effort that's gone into this publication and I think it's brilliant recognition for all our team and for the partners that we've worked with over many years. Really happy to be shortlisted in the first instance and to be a winner tonight.

We were absolutely stunned and delighted with the win tonight, it was a massive team effort over the years to deliver our training and development services to the hardware and building materials sector, but absolutely thrilled for it to be recognised. It's a fantastic way to recognise excellence in the delivery of services to members in any association and it's one that we'd really celebrate and encourage anyone to get involved in.

It's great recognition, you're up against great quality and it's a great way to get your own work recognised even if you don't win as a finalist, it's just a really big honour. Such range and different types of work but really high calibre so you feel like you're a winner just by being here today.

We were really delighted and humbled to win this award. The Association and Institutes Awards are really valuable because they acknowledge the work that all of these different associations are doing, bringing people together, bringing the community together, aligning on goals, supporting government, supporting the organisations, the sectors that they represent, so really, really valuable and delighted.

I would recommend entering because it's a real value to showcase how much a team works together and it really showcases our team and the hard work we do to showcase Ireland for the future of work and learning.
