BLED STRATEGIC FORUM DISTINGUISHED PARTNER AWARD
Since 2017, Bled Strategic Forum has been awarding the Bled Strategic Forum Distinguished Partner Award. The aim of the BSF Distinguished Partner Award is to acknowledge the support of prominent individuals in highlighting global and regional strategic priority issues and supporting and drawing attention to the activities of the BSF.
By inviting high-profile individuals such as high political leaders, practitioners, experts and other decision-makers to serve as Bled Strategic Forum Distinguished Partner, the BSF Programme Committee is recognising the contribution of those committed individuals to promoting, fostering and sustaining effective strategic dialogue and raising awareness of the importance of the Bled Strategic Forum’s aims, objectives and priorities.
