2023-2024 Member Recognition Program
Our CNH District Member Recognition Committee has recently released the 2023-2024 Member Recognition Program rubric and materials. If you are interested in applying for this contest (highly highly recommended!) please read the following!
What is the Member Recognition Program?
The CNH Member Recognition Program is a program designed to recognize a large number of dues-paid Key Club members with a minimum of fifty service hours. Please remember that being on-time dues-paid is a prerequisite to qualify for the Member Recognition Program. If you are not dues-paid prior to December 1st, you will not receive recognition. There are four levels of recognition, as explained in the rubric linked HERE: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum (platinum receivers will get an opportunity to go on stage at DCON 2024).
How do I participate?
Attend various types of Service Projects, Division Events, Kiwanis Events, and more to qualify for the different requirements! The Member Recognition Program is recorded by your club Secretary, meaning they should be the ones keeping track of your MRP status. You do not need to submit anything yourself as a member, but make sure your club submits their club MRP data on time and accurately to your Division Lt. Governor.
