		NAWIC Spirit Award Committee Guidelines

	Background:	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 her unique, and previously unrecognized contributions and kind spirit. The idea of a special award – theNAWIC Spirit Award – was born.

	Committee:	The Spirit Award Committee shall consist of the President, Vice President, President-Elect and the previous two recipients of the NAWIC Spirit Award. The committee shall elect its own chairperson.

	Eligibility:	Anyone who has been a member of NAWIC Chapter 356 in good standing for at least one year. Directors are eligible, but other current chapter officers are not. Past recipients must wait two years before being eligible for another award.

	Procedure:	Forms shall be made available to the General Membership for input to the committee. Forms are due no later than August 1^st of each year. The committee shall decide on the recipient of the award no later than September 1^st, and shall be responsible for ordering the award. No 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.
