Selection Committee
Premio Somos Latin American Achievement Awards Canada

All nominees and winners of the Premio Somos Latin American Achievement Awards Canada are appointed and selected by the Selection Committee.

The Selection Committee operates independently of the award ceremony organizers to appoint, evaluate and select all nominees and winners of the award ceremony according to the criteria specific to individual categories.

Members of the Selection Committee for the Premio Somos Latin American Achievement Awards Canada are appointed by winners of the most recent edition of the award ceremony. Each winner appoints five candidates whose names are then submitted on a ballot. All ballots are tabulated by a chartered accountant.

In the order of the ballots that are drawn, the first six candidates to accept the position of Selection Committee member then replace the six members who have completed their two year term as a Selection Committee member.

In previous editions of the award ceremony the Selection Committee has consisted of the following outstanding individuals:

Miriam Catala, Félix Mora, Esther Sierra, Esteban Vercel, Sandra Hryhor, Blanca Talesnik, Jesús León, Jorge Lipovetzky, Raúl Masseur, Nadia Umaña, Carla Valeriano, Vilma Filici, Carlos Valeriano, Mauricio Ospina, Manuel Estay, Rolando Vásquez, Franklin Guzmán, Waldo Aristizabal and Chartered Accountant Juan Carranza.

It is the participation of these dedicated individuals that has ensured the development of the award ceremony, establishing a viable and transparent selection process.
