2004 Best Practices Awards
The Beta
Alpha Psi Board of Directors will recognize chapters who go above and
beyond a normal level of activity in professional activities, service
activities, and/or innovative programs with the Beta Alpha Psi Best
Practices Awards. The Best Practices Awards Program is intended to
recognize extraordinary achievement and is designed to encourage
chapters to undertake innovative and unique activities that excel in
terms of chapter commitment and demonstrated, highly successful
outcomes. These awards are designed to encourage chapters to think
and act “outside the box” in planning and conducting chapter
activities.
Award-seeking and
baseline chapters may compete for a Beta Alpha Psi Best Practices
Award. To be eligible for an award, the chapter, at a minimum, must
meet the baseline chapter requirements as specified in the Program of
Chapter Activities for the year in which the award is being sought.
Secondly, chapters must present its Best Practice Portfolio at the
appropriate Beta Alpha Psi regional meeting. Members of the Board of
Directors and the International Advisory Forum participate in
evaluating the presentations (see attached Evaluation Form).
Presentations at the regional meetings must be no more than 10 minutes
in length and must be accompanied by an abstract that includes:
·
An outline of the
project
·
Goals of the project
·
Expected outcome of the
project
·
Names of the members
participating
·
Names of the non-members
participating
·
Number of member hours
devoted to developing the presentation
·
Benefits to the chapter
and others served by the project (i.e., lessons learned, etc.)
·
Financial analysis of
the Best Practice (i.e., how much does it cost to implement the
practice?)
All Best Practice
presentations will be made using overhead transparencies and an
overhead projector. Powerpoint or Freelance presentations are allowed.
Deloitte and
Touche, LLP will provide funding for the regional Best Practices
Awards this year. The levels of funding will be $500, $250, and $125
for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
finishers, respectively, at the regional meetings. First place
winners compete at the International meeting for a $1,000 award.
