The 2016 competition received 163 submissions. Judges from different associations, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations evaluated the submissions this year. The awards are sponsored by High Roads Solution.   

“We received exceptional submissions this year in all the categories, and the judges had a hard time selecting which organizations received the Gold Circle Awards,” said Tom Quash, CAE, VP, Marketing, Communications and Publications at the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric & Neonatal Nurses, and chair of the Gold Circle Awards Committee. “During the MMCC conference, we will have an education session highlighting winners’ projects, so attendees can gain insight on strategies that worked well and use them for future campaigns.”
