Spirit Award Committee Guidelines<\/h2>

Background:<\/h4>

In the fall of 2002, on the way to Annual Fall Planning in El Paso, three members of Chapter 356, Dodi Walch, Connie Stevenson and Diane (Watson) Zink, felt the need to recognize a special member of the chapter, and any future outstanding member, for\u00a0her unique, and previously unrecognized contributions and kind spirit.\u00a0 The idea of a special award \u2013 the\u00a0NAWIC Spirit Award\u00a0\u2013 was born.<\/p>

Committee:<\/h4>

The Spirit Award Committee shall consist of the President and the previous two recipients of the NAWIC Spirit Award.\u00a0 The committee shall elect its own chairperson.<\/p>

Eligibility:<\/h4>

Anyone who has been a member of NAWIC Chapter 356 in good standing for at least one year (includes all member categories).\u00a0 Past recipients must wait two years before being eligible for another award.\u00a0 If a member of the committee is nominated and more than one nomination is received, a secret ballot will be taken to determine the winner.<\/p>

Procedure:<\/h4>

Forms shall be made available to the General Membership for input to the committee.\u00a0 Forms are due no later than August 1st\u00a0of each year.<\/p>

The committee shall decide on the recipient of the award no later than September 1st, and shall be responsible for ordering the award.\u00a0\u00a0No committee deliberations shall be discussed outside the committee meetings and the name of the recipient shall remain known only to the committee until the award presentation. The award will be presented at the September General Membership Meeting.
The committee shall review the forms and committee guidelines every year and make recommendations to the Board of Directors for changes needed.<\/p>
