Trimester Recognitions

NEW: Trimester Marketing Awards

Marketing VP Michelle has launched a new recognition for Chapter/District Newsletters and Chapter Marketing. Check out her page for nomination forms and recognize how your chapter is the worst kept secret in town!

MNWT Trimester Programming Awards

Every trimester each State Programming Manager recognizes one amazing project and one outstanding programming manager as programming’s best in their area for that trimester. They review nominations sent in from chapters and districts throughout the state and select the top entry for each programming area. Receiving an Outstanding Programming Manager or Project of the Trimester award is no small task and should be considered a special achievement.

*Be sure to nominate all your LPMs each trimester for the Outstanding Programming Manager Award. (FYI: If you do not have LPMs you can still nominate a member that is doing outstanding work in a programming area.) *
