About the Magnificent Members of the Quarter Program
Have you participated in an AMC activity and thought, “Wow, that leader is awesome” or “that member really went above and beyond”? If so, nominate them for the chapter’s Magnificent Members of the Quarter (MMQ) program! Any AMC member may nominate a DV Chapter member for above-and-beyond actions at an AMC event or excellence as a leader. If you see something good, say something! Submitting a nomination is easy: just follow the guidelines below. Awardees (there can be more than one recipient per quarter) will receive a gift card from the chapter as a thank-you for modeling AMC values and will be recognized in the chapter’s newsletter, on social media, and in other channels.
Guidelines for the program include:
- Nominator must be an active AMC member, but does not have to be a DV Chapter member.
- Nominee must be an active, current AMC-DV member.
- Nominee cannot have been a Magnificent Member recipient within the past 12 months.
- Magnificent Member nominees and recipients can also be eligible for annual chapter-wide awards, such as Appie or Golden Appie.
- Nominations will be vetted by the DV Executive Committee.
- Executive Committee members cannot be nominated while they serve.
- Nominations deadlines are March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1.
