Equal Opportunity Recognition
Not everyone has the authority to make the measurable and sizable impacts that are visible to everyone in a company. The criteria for NAWC Positive Wave Award nominees is intentionally designed to recognize those who may be newer to the industry or may be in staff level or field positions. We encourage nominations for candidates of all backgrounds and ranks. This award can provide the third-party recognition that can really boost someone’s spirits and motivation and also show them and the outside world how much they are appreciated.
Details:
- We will be taking nominations every quarter.
- Nominations can come from colleagues, supervisors, team members, vendors, partners and other people outside the company.
- The application is simple to fill out. Don’t worry about being a good writer.
- A panel of judges from various NAWC member companies will evaluate all of the applications to determine who should be the winner of the Positive Wave Award.
- Employees of NAWC member companies in good standing are eligible for consideration to win the NAWC Positive Wave Award.
What Do They Win?
- The knowledge that their actions made a difference and people appreciated it.
- Recognition in NAWC publications including Week in Water and the CEO letter.
- Inclusion in NAWC’s social media channel content. Shareable with the world.
- An award certificate to post proudly on the wall, or on social media.
