Tips for Applying for the YAC Awards

Start the Application EARLY!: Deadline for submissions is June 15, 2019, but to truly leverage the application as a best practices tool, use the checklists throughout the year.
Laser Focus: Be strategic and choose one or two awards to focus on based on the passion of the committee. This can be especially rewarding for revitalizing committees.
Create an Application Process: Decide who will contribute, draft, and review the application. Assign tasks and set hard deadlines for completion.
Tell Your Story: Don't be overwhelmed by the narrative. Simply share your successes and strategies and what made your committee proud. Utilize testimonials and numbers to elaborate on those ideas to support your story.
Take Your Time: Don't wait until the last minute and have one person rush through the application.
