Sensis is on the hunt for the most inspirational people in Hobart to feature on the cover of next year’s Yellow Pages® and White Pages® book.
The 2014/2015 Cover’s Program theme, Inspiring Others to Achieve, honours the mentors, role models, coaches and teachers who go above and beyond to help others achieve their best.
Sensis is searching for locals in Hobart and surrounding areas who selflessly give their time to motivate others in their community and help them reach their full potential.
White Pages® Product Manager Sarah Simpson said unsung heroes who inspire others to be the best they can be are examples of the sort of people who could be nominated.
“Sensis wants locals to nominate people in their community who dedicate their lives to helping other people achieve their goals. They might be fantastic teachers, dedicated sports coaches, inspiring disability advocates, or people who break down barriers,” Ms Simpson said.
“They’re probably very humble people, but they deserve recognition for their efforts in creating an environment that encourages and rewards hard work and determination, and promotes the pursuit of excellence.
“Their selfless efforts are the reason behind the success of others – no matter how big or small that success might be.”
