Recognition
Any member can propose a suitable award for another
member for outstanding performance over and above that
which is normally expected.
Outstanding performance can be recognized in many
ways. Some award proposals include, but are not limited
to:
Page 11
• awards for a single event or success,
• an achievement award for a major contribution which
covers a sustained period of time,
• a commendation award recognizing development of
an outstanding project or program,
• team awards for a rescue or assistance to endangered persons or property and recognition
of commendable events or accomplishments.
Some awards are proposed for presentation during the change of watch season. This is certainly
a desirable function for recognizing a member’s contribution, but recognition should be
made soon after it is proposed and approved. Reflections of a year’s activities resulting in
award proposals are not uncommon, and are encouraged for outstanding performance. Unfortunately,
many member contributions are overlooked, and the opportunity for an award
proposal is lost. Members, and in particular elected and staff officers, should vigorously pursue
proposing proper recognition for deserving effort and contribution.
The Auxiliary Manual outlines the criteria and procedures for initiating an award proposal. In
addition, award proposal guidance has been made available in district directives, at conference
presentations, in distributed CDs, and in special training programs.
Make a deserving member’s day, and your day, by pursuing an award proposal up the chain
of leadership. Ω
