Local ClubsArticlesLinksNALC SponsorsSuggestions		At the January 1981 NALC Mid-Year Meeting in Phoenix, the delegates voted to accept a proposal that would establish an awards program co-sponsored by NALC and 3M Company designed to honor and recognize "the Local Member of the Year." Each of the local litho clubs that comprise NALC would nominate a local member "for significant contributions and activities that have improved the status, services and benefits of his local litho club." Nominations will be accepted during the last five months of each year. In 1998 this award was changed to "NALC/Polaroid Local Member of the Year."

The objective of the new NALC/Polaroid Awards Program is to create an awareness of the outstanding contributions made by a member within their own organization. It was noted by NALC officers that the NALC should be aware of the value of that special member. Each nominee will receive a suitable award presented to them at their local monthly meeting by a local Polaroid sales representative.

Nominees for the Award can be on the basis of one major specific accomplishment for their local club, or a series of smaller, but consistent activities. Guidelines that are suggested include:

  1. Ingenuity and creativity that have benefitted the local club. Look for the member whose good ideas and suggestions have improved existing services, programs or benefits or initiated new ones that didn't exist previously.
  2. Extraordinary skill in the performance of club duties. This may pertain to an officer or committee chairperson who achieved more during their term of office than normally expected.
  3. Reliability and length of service. Consider the reliable member who over the years is always available to handle a project, set up a special program, get out a bulletin or moderate a session...and consistently does it well.
