Idorenyen declares for NIMN presidency
Idorenyen Enang, the CEO of Corporate Shepherds Limited and the former President of Advertisers’ Association of Nigeria (ADVAN) has declared his intention to vie for the presidency of National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) in the forthcoming NIMN elections scheduled to hold in May.
Enang, who is a Business and Leadership Coach, a Fellow of the Institute and the serving Vice President, said that his decision to run for the presidency is informed by the desire to avail the industry his experience and to make for continuity.
“Over the years, I have been privileged to apply the knowledge I have gained as a Marketing Professional across all facets of my life. In the past year, I also had the honour of serving as the 1st Vice President of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN), a great place of repute. To this end, I am vying for the post of President at the upcoming NIMN elections scheduled to hold 21st – 27th May 2021. I need your vote to make this a reality, to enable us continue on some of the projects we started last year,” he canvassed.
In his statement of purpose where he elucidated on his vision and mission as president, Enang stated that, “I have elected to define reality by seeking your mandate to serve as your President in the next dispensation. Service is the very purpose of life and I have literally operated this way as your VP1. This is evident with the work executed by a team I led to successfully launch a coaching and mentoring programme, coupled with seeking your feedback through a comprehensive survey earlier in the year.
“Our Institute is going through a renovation and it is obvious that we need a transformational leader to drive a sense of continuity and also build on the legacy of our President, Mr. Tony Agenmonmen, and that is the reason I have put myself forward for election. My ambition is to unleash the power of our members through a selfless agenda to help them grow and mature into servant leaders”.
He identified his priorities as follows: “setting up a Marketing Educators Forum to drive our presence and activation within academia; creating an all-inclusive forum for all Chapter Chairmen to facilitate growth and accountability at regional levels; initiating a Volunteer Scheme for Student and Associate members as a way to build capability and drive engagement; establishing global affiliations and alliances by initiating chapters in the diaspora and also leveraging the work done to institute an Africa wide Network of Marketers; driving our flagship Coaching & Mentoring forum to serve as our strategic exchange forum to build our posterity of marketing and business leaders and unleashing the potential of our people through signature activities that will galvanise respect by the corporate and business community”.
“We will create a platform for our senior members to be engaged meaningfully”, Enang assured members of the Institute, adding that his mantra in office will be the quote by Max De Pree which states that ‘the first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant’.
Enang is believed to be eminently qualified for the job because he is a proven reform-minded business leader with demonstrable expertise in driving organisational turnaround and growth and whose corporate journey has spanned over thirty years. He has also served in a global capacity in the Executive Committee of the World Federation of Advertisers as Region Vice President for Africa, alongside other global CMOs and CEOs from 2011-16.
