PROBE Outstanding Achievement Awards

Starting in 2000, PROBE is presenting the Outstanding Achievement Award. This award was discontinued in 2004, but re-established for 2010.

In the same vein of the "old" International PR Awards, the PROBE Outstanding Achievement Awards will be announced each year at the PROBE General Session at International Conventions.

Each year this award will cover the preceding 12 months.

Each winner will receive a handsome certificate and Society-wide recognition. After the announcements at the annual PROBE meeting at the International Convention, the list of recipients will appear in the convention bulletin, and later, The UPDATE. The Harmonizer, The LIVE Wire, PROBEmoter and The PROBE website.

Criteria for these awards to Districts, chapters, quartets, or individuals is:

1. Creativity
2. Impact
3. Exposure
4. Results

The PR staff in Kenosha will assist in providing nominations. Other sources for this input will also be used (Harmonizer, district publications, chapter bulletins and PROBE officers). The PROBE Officers will make the final selection.

This is in no way connected to the PROTY award however some of those winners may also make this list.

Members of Society Affiliates are also eligible for these awards.

We are not looking to recognize only "the best", we are looking to recognize those who do an outstanding job and can be an example to others and inspire them to believe that they too can accomplish such deeds.
