CPMT Society Chapter of the Year Award: Nominations Report

Suggestions For Organizing Nominations Report
The nominators should comply with the following suggestions when submitting their reports:

Organize the report in sections that follow the same order of activities as outlined in the instructions, i.e.: a) summary of technical meetings, b) summary of educational program, etc.
Include only pertinent information, i.e., meeting flyer notifications, program and activity descriptions, relevant correspondence and backup information, etc. (Please do not overwhelm the judges by attaching irrelevant or subjective material.)
Add to the beginning of each section a short summary describing the corresponding activities, the results and why, in the chapter's opinion, it is considered that the results were good, bad, or indifferent.
Explain why the chapter failed to meet the minimum criteria in some activities, if applicable.
For those criteria that allow additional points to be awarded based upon a demonstrated program (advancements, nominations, and membership development), the report must describe these programs in some detail in order to receive additional points.
