SAGE Extends Deadline For Awards Programme
The SAGE Commission today [July 30] announced that the deadline for submissions to its Awards Programme has been extended by one week. The deadline, which was 5:00pm on Wednesday [July 31] is now 5:00pm on Wednesday [August 7].
“We’re impressed with the number and quality of the submissions we’ve received, and appreciate the time and effort they represent,” said Commission Chairman Brian Duperreault.
“With the release of the SAGE Commission’s interim report, we’d like to offer the public a chance to have a good look at its findings and recommendations, and possibly use them as a catalyst for additional ideas for streamlining Government, contributing to greater efficiency, enhancing accountability, and providing better service to the public through privatisation.”
To date, 284 submissions have been received through the SAGE Commission’s website.
“We’re particularly interested in hearing from the younger members of our community,” said Mr. Duperreault. “A young person’s fresh perspective can offer startling and innovative ways of looking at things. The result can be truly creative solutions.”
Four awards, each with a value of $2500 and funded by the private sector, will be awarded for the best idea for reducing the cost of running the Bermuda Government coming from an employee of Government; a member of the public; a young person between the ages of 18-25 years; and a youth under the age of 18 years. An award of $10,000 will be given to the best submission overall.
Submissions can be done online in SAGE Commission’s website. Submissions may also be hand delivered at SAGE Commission, c/o Suite Solutions, 3rd Floor, New Venture House, 3 Mills Creek Road, Pembroke.
