. . "We sing the unsung heros" This award program is rather unique in that it identifies and recognizes a single individual in each user group who has excelled in the service of the group. Who will be Honored? THIS HONOR will be given to ALL Nominees, based on the President's recommendation, and that of the confirming representatives, members, or officers of the group. __ Each nominee/winner will be recognized with an award to be presented locally at the group's meeting, and announced to the local news media. Each nominee/winner will also be publicly recognized in the User Group Academy website. These recognitions become a permanent record of that individual's accomplishment. ONE global Nominee will then be selected by the Academy to receive a GRAND award, which will be presented at the UG ACADEMY AWARDS EVENT. How will we find them? ALL PRESIDENTS of non-profit organizations are hereby called upon to identify that outstanding member who deserves the accolades of the world. __ Presidents may use appropriate methods to identify this individual through group elections, comments from other members or officers, or simply by the individuals performance. The Academy will require the confirmation of ONE other officer, and FOUR other confirming officers or members at large. __ The Academy will follow up with the President and confirming members for additional details and a more complete profile of the winner. Take a moment and ask "WHICH MEMBER of our organization contributed the most. Who made the most sacrifices... served the general membership unselfishly.
