Nominate an IAG member for the Amjid Ali Award

The Amjid Ali Award recognises the Independent Advisory Group (IAG) members making outstanding contributions to their communities.

Nominations are open for the 2023 IAG member of the year, in honour of the late Amjid Ali, former Strategic IAG Chair and partner of Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
