Dear PAMPI Member:

We are enjoying another successful year at PAMPI thanks to the commitment and dedication of our Chapter members. It is once again time to recognize those members and peers who have made outstanding association/industry contributions in leadership and professionalism.

The Awards Committee is currently soliciting nominations for Chapter Awards in five categories. This is your chance to highlight and honor a member or members that you feel have gone above and beyond when it comes to Chapter and industry involvement. The five categories are as follows:

Planner of the Year – This award is presented annually to a planner member of our Chapter in recognition of outstanding association/industry contributions, leadership, and professionalism. The Award is based on international and Chapter participation, presentations relating to the industry in general, articles written in the hospitality industry press and industry recognition received.

Supplier of the Year – This award is presented annually to a supplier member of our Chapter in recognition of outstanding association/industry contributions, leadership, and professionalism. The Award is based on international and Chapter participation, presentations relating to the industry in general, articles written in the hospitality industry press and industry recognition received.

Tomorrow’s Leader – This award is presented annually to a member of our Chapter who has made contributions to the Association at the international and/or Chapter level(s). The recipient also reflects the goal of professionalism at stated in the Association’s strategic plan. Nominees in this category must have joined MPI no earlier than January 1, 2011.

Chapter Leader – This award is presented annually to a member of our Chapter who motivates others, stimulates volunteer functions, and acts as a catalyst to cause exceptional results that positively impact PAMPI.

Volunteer of the Year– The monthly Shining Star Award is directly tied to the Annual Awards presented at the Gala for the Annual Award called Volunteer of the Year, with the same criteria. The difference being that in order to be eligible for Volunteer of the Year you must have been awarded the Shining Star Award in the current fiscal year. All Shining Star Award winners for 2014 -2015 are eligible for the Volunteer of the Year Award.

Awards are based on continuous involvement, commitment, and achievement with an emphasis on the 2014-2015 fiscal year. Any member in good standing can use the nomination form to nominate candidates. Members in good standing are defined as those whose membership dues are current.
