“Being recognized with this important industry award for which she was nominated by her colleagues at ICS is a testament to her meaningful efforts, dedication, and passion for her work. It is also a reflection of the strong team dynamics at ICS, where everyone works closely together to achieve great results.” says Grit Schoenherr, Chief Operating Officer at International Conference Services (ICS).
In 2019, Yoke joined ICS with work experience in destination management and tour operations. Despite having no prior experience as a PCO, she has proven to be an invaluable asset, exhibiting creativity, knowledge, and professionalism in all aspects of project management. Her ability to inspire those around her with enthusiasm has proven instrumental in helping ICS reach new heights, particularly during the pandemic. Her unwavering dedication to excellence has led to her promotion to Department Head of Project Management and Operations in January 2022.
“Yoke is constantly seeking feedback and ways to improve her performance for the betterment of herself and the team,” says Grit. "She understands that becoming a great leader means being willing to receive feedback and perform to the best of her ability."
The IAPCO Hero Award is one of three highly regarded achievement awards under the IAPCO Driving Excellence Awards program, which strives to recognize excellence in the international meetings industry. Every year one winner is selected for each category.
