2010 Associations Make A Better World
Awards Entry Form

The Basics:

Your program must have been conducted during 2009 and/or 2010. All entries must be submitted in English. All entries must be received electronically by ASAE & the Center by April 23, 2010.

(To nominate an association, please use the online nomination form).

Follow these steps:

1. Complete the online entry form in English. Judges will review only this form, so be as complete and concise as possible. Reports, brochures, videotapes or photos are not required. For Web-accessible supporting materials for your entry, you may include the URL address link in your description or send the materials (in any language) as an electronic attachment via e-mail to Megan Freedman at mfreedman@asaecenter.org. Supporting materials (print or video) will not be returned.

2. Start with the requested 100-word summary. Then, complete the full project description (4 sections @ 200 words each). Be as detailed as possible, but choose your words carefully.

3. Concentrate on the need, the activity’s goal, its impact (in terms of outcomes), and the significance of its success. Numbers are very important as measurements of success, but also describe how the activity improved the lives of those involved or how it benefited society.

The following questions may help you decide how best to describe your program:

  • When, why and where was the activity started?
  • What were the activity's goal/objectives? How were they reached? How is your program innovative or improving upon what has been done in the past?
  • How did your association activity “make a better world?” What were the measurable outcomes of the program? Can you describe your program’s actual impact on people, communities, quality of life, etc. and its benefits to society?
  • What type and level of financial resources did it take to implement this program? What sources provided the funds and/or in-kind services?
  • How were your organization’s members and other volunteers (numbers of persons, groups, businesses, government agencies, etc.) involved in this program?
  • What has your association done to ensure its long-term financial and operational sustainability in order to continue its ability to “make a better world”?
