CWA News

Amorelle Dempster, who nominated Valerie Smith, said about her experience. “I am a ‘has-been’ of course, a former nominee myself. It was a great experience for me and made me realise that my contribution to the community was valued. That has made it a priority for me to get involved in a lot of different areas since my nomination. I suppose it took me a while since my nomination to find the time to then sit down and nominate someone else. But that’s the way it should be. Pay it forward.
