What’s the
easiest method to increase the vitality of leadership? Recognize people
for their contributions!
IMC USA
provides numerous opportunities to grant awards at both the chapter and
national level (see below) that recognize the contributions of IMC
members to the Institute, their Chapter, community and the profession. The IMC USA website contains all of the
qualifications, submission process and application forms that you need
The process
to grant chapter awards for
appreciation and achievement of chapter members could notbe
simpler.Any chapter member may make a nomination, obtain the required
number of sponsors and complete the short application from the IMC USA website.
The chapter awards committee or the chapter board sets the submission deadlines
and criteria for awards, deliberates on the nomination and decides on the venue
for recognition.
National appreciation and achievement
recognition awards are
based on stricter criteria and require a more rigorous vetting process. Two
award recognitions, the Lifetime Achievement Award and Fellow of the Institute,
require approval of the IMC USA national board.
IMC typically recognizes recipients of these two awards at national
events such as Confab (October); therefore nominators must submit their
applications for deliberation by the Awards Committee and subsequent board
action no later than May 31st.
Take a moment
to think about the contributions that a fellow IMC member has made to your
chapter or to IMC USA and consider recognizing them by submitting an
application for an award. Not only will
you "make their day,” but you’ll be practicing the fine art of leadership.
