IT Leadership Awards 2011: Who’s in the running

This is a great way to kick off the fall: recognizing great Canadian technology talent.

We have shipped off the nominations for our second annual ComputerWorld Canada IT Leadership Awards to our panel of judges this morning, and they have about three weeks to score them before we meet in person to determine final winners. The results will be announced in late October — more details to come on how we'll be doing that this year.

I'm pleased to announce that Andrew Dillane, CIO of Randstad Canada Group, is the Chair of this year's awards, and that almost all of our other judges have returned this year.

Congratulations to all the finalists this year. The list below will be posted to the main awards site soon, along with video interviews with our judges, leadership advice and more. Best of luck to all.
