Management Week in America

1. QUICKTOOL 16 Management Week in America SUMMARY: The Management Week in America (MWIA) program enables a chapter or council to foster public recognition of management/leadership development. Doing so improves the quality of management/leadership; encourages those with management/leadership responsibility to increase their competence; inspires young citizens and educators to become familiar with the benefits quality management/leadership provides to all of society; and creates an understanding of the essential role that management/leadership has in increasing productivity. FUNDING: Funding is generally not required for this event. If you do want to host a special event (such as a luncheon or dinner), funding options can be found in the Run a Successful Speech Contest (QT1). REQUIREMENTS: Resource requirements are the time required to obtain proclamation(s) and to select Manager of the Year award recipient(s). Volunteer hours are generally 12-16 hours. PROCESS: Management Week in America is designated as the first week in June. Begin to obtain proclamations from national, state, and local agencies as early as February to allow adequate time for the agencies to prepare the proclamations. Begin to select a local Manager of the Year or other appropriate leadership awards by early April. The presentations can be held during a chapter general membership meeting or at any other time convenient for chapter members (for example, a BBQ or picnic, an ice cream social or other events, at which a company executive is a featured speaker).
