Club Best Practices Award
The purpose of the award is to recognize and share changes implemented by clubs in the following areas:
- Streamlining specific leadership positions.
- Creating an ongoing increase in membership.
- Modifying club approach to membership that sustains involvement of aging members and/or broadens inclusion of members in the surrounding community (gender, ethnicity, working in the home or outside the home with limited time availability etc).
- Develops an ongoing community partnership that is visible in the community and mutually beneficial.
A best practice is a set of ideas implemented and then sustained that changes the club and makes it better.
