Dear Affiliate Society Chairs and Council Representatives:

GOLD AWARD RECEPTION & RECOGNITION PROGRAM 2018: This is an opportunity for your society to honor your outstanding members. The 2018Gold Award Reception & Recognitionis tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at a venue (TBD). Please submit the following by 2/9/18:

1)Name of the award

2)Award recipient’s name

3)The individual who will be on the stage presenting the award to the recipient

4)Brief bio

5)Hi-res photo as a separate attachment.

PHYSICAL AWARD PLAQUES & TROPHIES: Each society will be responsible for the individual award plaques for their awardees. Please be sure to bring those awards earlyto the reception

where we will have an awards table set up by the stage. During the Individual Society Awards Presentations, an ESD Staff Member will be assigned to surreptitiously and seamlessly hand your award to your society’s presenter. The society’s presenter will then “present” the award to the awardee, and a professional photographer will capture the presentation on film.

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION: Please submit a separate* hi-resolution digital photo (.jpg format) of your awardee(s). No LinkedIn copies please, as these are not clear enough. If you have an updated society logo, please forward this separately as well (.jpg format). *Attaching photos separately makes the process go more smoothly.

The award recipients’ biographies should be submitted. The biographies should be brief, as they will be read by the Emcee as the recipients walk to the stage to receive their awards. Please keep it under 40 words max. typed, and should highlight the achievements of the special award recipient that your society will be honoring.

In order to allow for adequate preparation time for program literature, and PowerPoint presentation, please submit the individual society award information form, along with the recipient’s biography, photo, and society logo,byFriday, February 9, 2018. Please feel free to email your information to me at, . You may contact me directly at 248.353.0735, ext. 119. Do not hesitate to inquire about examples for biographies or awards. Thank you for your participation in this prestigious event.
