Become a Liaison!
We train you in 2-3 hours. As the nomination phase is concluding, it is time to concentrate on the important task of converting nominations into actual applications for the Award. We want each Nominee Company to fully understand the MBEA application and judging process, and we want each Nominee Company to fully appreciate the considerable advantages that accrue to the Company itself as a result of applying for the Award.
To assist in this effort we are recruiting volunteer MBEA Nominee Liaisons, each of whom will be asked to relate on a personal basis to one to three Nominee Companies. Specifically, the duties of each Nominee Liaison will consist of the following:
a) Have an initial telephone conversation with the designated contact at the Nominee Company and confirm the correct contact person.
b) If possible, participate in at least one on-site visit with the Nominee Company, for the purpose of further explaining the MBEA program, the application process, and the associated benefits.
c) Maintain liaison with the Nominee Company, answering questions and providing help, as required, assisted by members of the MBEA Steering Committee.
Become An Endorsing Organization
Non-profit organizations and professional associations that take a visible and significant action to endorse the program, as a positive signal to its members, permit their name to be listed as an Endorsing Organization. Although this does not involve a financial commitment, it does require the organization to distribute to its members, through their regular communication channels, MBEA provided web/email and print ads. MBEA requires two requests asking members for company nominations and two promotions for their members to attend the awards event.
