Hi Suella
Thanks for the message. Good news on persuading the local paper to be
proactive.Hopefully other newspapers could follow suit(it would be great to
have a copy of newspaper article featuring the results and their plans on
Black Achievers).
It would be great to have final profiles and others to be included on our
new website www.Recog-nition.co.uk
We currently adding some functionality and additional featues over the next
week or two so people submit their own profiles and details of events
regarding achievement.
In the meanwhile please email [log in to unmask] to submit details.
