In the Central Asian Region, ICMCI has been particularly active due to the energy and efforts of Gabriel Al-Salem, CMC, who was the Regional Director of the Business Advisory Services Program of the Central Asian Region. His efforts while in his EBRD role, have led to the formation of associations of consulting in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, and the certification and training of consultants in this region. For ICMCI, it is recognised that this work has been commendable and of pioneering nature.

In recognition of the selfless, professional and, above all, valued contribution to the standards, philosophy and practice of ICMCI. The Competence Framework, the reciprocity arrangements, the quality assurance fundamentals and practice are all considerably richer for Nick's contribution. Two schemes (ACP and ATP) would be incomplete without his efforts, and advice to PSC and QAC has been constant, apposite and always available. Nick has over many years assisted new Institutes form and join ICMCI, and there are many CMCs today who would not have had the opportunity without his efforts.

In recognition of the dedication in launching nation-wide professional examination for management consultants in China, supporting the healthy development of management consulting industry in China, promoting ICMCI activities and CMC certification in China, and opening channels for communication and collaboration between international and Chinese consultants.
