Communications Awards by Kim Post
Now that we are in March, you have (less than) two weeks remaining to apply for NACAA/GACAA Communications Awards. They are due March 15, 2022, and can include any materials you have used in your programming since March 15, 2021. I would definitely encourage you to apply as there are some categories currently with zero entries. This is an excellent opportunity to earn recognition for your work and add to your dossier!
Categories and application process are available here: https://www.nacaa.com/-information—instructions
Scorecards are here: https://www.nacaa.com/uploads/userfiles/files/2020Scorecards.pdf
Please let one of the Communications Committee co-chairs know if you have any questions about categories or submitting your entries.
