PROGRAM AWARD BOOK GUIDELINES
Purpose
- Winning Program Award Books will receive vouchers for FCE educational materials in the following amounts:
1st place-$350; 2nd place-$200; 3rd place-$75
Winners will be recognized at the Annual Conference
- Create a format that allows a wider audience to view successful National FCE programs completed in states.
- Create a format for FCE members to become more skilled in:
- Program award presentation
- Marketing FCE visually and verbally
- Writing reports and designing displays, as a way to develop leadership skills.
- Provide incentives for grass root members to participate in and attend Annual Conferences.
- The Program Award Books/Displays at Conference will give states the incentive to do a program/project as a way to supplement their funds.
Each state may enter
ONE PROGRAM AWARD BOOK AND ONE DISPLAY BOARD IN EACH CATEGORY
for work done in the previous year. A program/project may be submitted in only one category. National FCE will no longer be supplying display boards. They must be purchased locally, size 32 inches high by 48 inches wide to 24 inches high by 54 inches wide. Either bi or tri folds. For the 2012 National FCE Conference, the boards need to be sent to Headquarters by Tuesday July 17. National FCE will continue to ship the boards home from Conference.
