​Our Annual Awards took place at a unique African restaurant in the heart of Cape Town. We were honored to have Mrs. Deborah Burnett as an invited guest to receive the awards on behalf of her late husband, Graham Burnett. During the emotional presentation, Deborah decided to share the honor of collecting Graham’s Awards with Tjebbe Roestenburg and Mark Campbell, who gave fitting speeches to recognize Graham’s outstanding contribution to IRATA over the past 29 years, as did the IRATA Chairman, Jonathan Capper.

We would also like to posthumously pass on our congratulations to Graham Burnett, who won in all of the following categories:

• IRATA International Volunteer of the Year - Winner: Graham Burnett
• Long-Standing Contribution to Rope Access - Winner: Graham Burnett
• Outstanding Achievement in Rope Access - Winner: Graham Burnett

Thank you to all Members who registered their nominations for our 2017 ITEC Annual Awards.
