The Macra Club of the Year and Best New Member competitions are back for 2024 with National Broadband Ireland sponsoring the awards for a fourth year in a row.
The Club of the Year competition is designed to encourage Macra clubs to be dynamic and active, rewarding their achievements and contributions at both a local and national level. Participating clubs will be assessed on planning and execution of their development strategy, involvement in the club’s local community, as well as the level of club member participation.
Applications will open on Monday 20th May 2024 and will close on 31st July with regional judging interviews taking place in August. Twelve clubs will qualify for the final which will take place in late October.
As part of the Club of the Year competition, an award for Best New Member is also presented to a Macra member from each region: Leinster, Munster and the Northwest.
Niall Beirne, Head of Corporate Communications at National Broadband Ireland, commented: “NBI are delighted to continue our partnership with Macra by again sponsoring their Club of the Year and Best New Member awards for 2024. Throughout our association with Macra, we have been encouraged to see the adoption and widespread use of technology by the clubs in terms of developing their strategies. As Ireland is fast becoming the most connected country in Europe, it’s important that we all take advantage of the opportunities that connectivity brings.”
Macra National President, Elaine Houlihan, said “The Club of the Year and Best New Member Awards highlight and recognise our members’ commitment to their clubs and wider communities. Macra is delighted to have sponsorship from NBI for this prestigious competition and I look forward to seeing who will be crowned the 2024 Club of the Year.”
