Changes for 2007 What’s changing • Clarification of media criteria and documentation. • No additional items added or work required. Awards effected: • Landmark • Media Relations • Pacesetter
Top 10 Reasons Applications Lose Points • Lack of documentation • Documented events, programs, and/or items do not meet the criteria • Double dipping • Confusing Leadership Training with Strategic Planning • Not knowing the difference between the media pieces
Top 10 Reasons Applications Lose Points (cont’d) • Documentation outside of the current awards time frame or not dated at all • Information submitted does not match NAHU's official records • Chapter sponsoring the event is not the same as the chapter submitting the award application • Website Award - links not working or information is not in the correct location • Taking credit for more events then were documented
Organization is Key • Title the documentation with the section and criteria that it corresponds to: i.e. Section 1, #1 • Complete the scoring information. • Make sure the notebook or vehicle you are submitting your application in is big enough to hold all the content.
Documentation • The Awards Guidebook is your best friend. • Your regional awards chair is your other best friend. • Not sure, check the guidebook. • Still not sure, contact your regional awards chair.
How to document events • Board Minutes • Flyer or Registration Form showing the date, location, who is sponsoring the event and meeting content • Signed contracts showing date and location of the event • Confirmation e-mails or letters
Being organized with your documentation • Keep it simple. • One comprehensive piece of documentation is better than multiple pieces. • Highlight ALL pertinent information. • Keep the documentation with the right section. • Using the same documentation? Make copies and place each copy with the correct section.

Appoint a Media Relations Chair 1 x 25 pts. = Check what NAHU has listed for your chapter: • www.NAHU.org • Members’ Area • Chapter Information & Resources • Chapter officers and dues search
