Each year the NH State Council announces winners of Service Program Awards in many different categories at the State Convention. See details of the latest program in Microsoft Powerpoint or Adobe Acrobat formats:

• Revised Awards Program (2009-2010)
• Revised Awards Program (2009-2010)

You can submit entries using this form:

Service Award Form (STSP)

In the NH State Council, we also use these forms to track activity level in the state, and especially to collect ideas to share with other councils. We strongly encourage you to submit one of these forms for any activity that you engage in, whether or not you think it may be the best candidate for an award.

These are the selection guidelines recommended by Supreme:

Awards are based upon one project or activity conducted by the council and not upon a series or accumulation of activities in a particular section of the Service Program. Consider the following areas when preparing an entry for a project or activity:

• Nature of the activity. Does it demonstrate the objectives of the Service Program – Catholic, family, fraternal,service?
• Participation of membership. How many members participated? What percentage of the entire membership participated?
• Results. What were the benefits derived from sponsorship of the project? How did the results affect the Church,community, council, family or youth?
• Program originality. Was the program something new?
• Committee planning. How effectively was the program organized? How much detail was involved in staging the event?
• Delegation of responsibility. How many members served as workers? Planners? What type of organization was established for the implementation of the project?
• Publicity. How effectively was the program publicized throughout the area – radio and television, local and diocesan newspapers, and council newsletters?
