AWARDS
PROGRAM PURPOSE: a. To recognize individuals, associations and local chapters, who by superior performance or by service of meritorious nature, make a major contribution to the well-being of the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association and the effectiveness of the Mississippi National Guard. b. To further the goals of the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association in the association’s efforts to promote the welfare and professionalism of all enlisted members of the National Guard through recognition of special individuals and associations. CATEGORIES: There are two general categories of awards – those made to individuals and those made to groups. Those eligible recipients for each category are clearly stated under each award. Qualifications and procedures for each category and award are listed separately with the award. RESPONSIBILITY: Awards made by the Awards Program will be presented on behalf of the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association membership-at-large. The presentation usually will be made by the President of the Association at the annual meeting of the Association, or at a suitable alternative occasion as determined by the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association President. If the President is not available, a suitable alternate may be designated, such as another officer of the Association, Committee Chairperson, or member representing the Association. The Chairperson on Awards is appointed by the President and approved by the Board of Directors. The committee is then selected by the Chairperson in accordance with the Constitution and By-laws of the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association. They shall be responsible for reviewing the Awards Program for adequacy and administrative effectiveness and make such recommendations to the Board of Directors as it shall deem desirable. They will also review all duties relating to the Awards Program, working under the general supervision of the appointed Chairperson. This includes ensuring that a permanent record of all recipients is kept on file by the Secretary of the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association. This will include all other awards and items of appreciation distributed on behalf of the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association. The Board of Directors of the Mississippi National Guard Noncommissioned Officers Association shall be responsible for advertising/promoting all categories of awards listed in the Awards Program. This will be accomplished by word-of-mouth, articles in the Magnolia Non-Com, and all other Mississippi National Guard publications, thus ensuring that all potential recipients are justly considered. FUNDING: Awards, certificates, and the general operations of the committee will be budgeted each year by the Board of Directors of the Mississippi National Guard Association and taken from the general operating budget.
