Dear Affiliate Society Chairs and Council Representatives: GOLD AWARD BANQUET PROGRAM 2016: This is an opportunity for your society to honor your outstanding members. The 2016 Gold Award Banquet will be held The VisTaTech Center on Wednesday, March 16, 2016. Please submit the name of the award, the award recipient and the individual who will introduce the award recipient. PHYSICAL AWARD PLAQUES & TROPHIES: Each society will be responsible for the individual award plaques for their awardees. Please be sure to bring those awards early to the banquet on Wednesday, March 16, 2016, 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 winner(s)/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. COMBINED SOCIETY BOOKLET: Each society that is presenting an award will have the opportunity to honor their society and award recipient(s). If you feel your summary needs to be revised, please submit an edited summary of your society, about 150 words typed. Your society logo will be included in the program booklet. The award recipients’ biographies should be submitted as well. The biographies should be approximately 80 words, 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, please submit the individual society award information form, along with the recipient’s biography, photo, and society logo, by Friday, January 15, 2016. Please feel free to email your information to me at, eshelef@esd.org. 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.
