At the end of 2010, 24Housing Magazine began a nationwide search for the housing sector's leaders of the future.
Nominations have been assessed and the top 12 candidates have now been added to the 24dash website. Visitors to the site can vote for their Young Leader of the year. Voting is open until February 18.
The top five who draw the largest votes will be interviewed in 24Housing Magazine starting from April, with an expert judging panel deciding a winner to be unveiled later in the year.
The winner of the award, which has been sponsored by IT specialists Sovereign Business Integration, will receive the coveted Young Leader of the Year trophy along with a place on a leadership course worth up to £1,500, provided by Reed Learning.
The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) announced that Richard Capie, the current Director of Policy and Practice, has been appointed as Deputy Chief Executive.
CIH has recently embarked on an ambitious business transformation programme, which Richard and CIH Chief Executive Sarah Webb will be responsible for delivering.
