Minnesota Women of Today

Records and Recognition is designed to help keep those important project records on file. Ideas for chapter histories come from this area, as do awards and incentive ideas. Twice Presidents, state delegates and executive council members complete individual entries at the end of each year that are beneficial to the next officer in that position. The entries are judged, and keys are awarded based on the accomplishments recorded in the entries.

Chapter Checkoff List

The check-off list encourages you to find your chapters' manuals, important papers and other things that your chapter will need sometime during the year. Did you know that each chapter has one copy of each of the manuals available? There is a manual for each of your board members. Do you know where your manuals are? How about your current declaration of insurance? Do you know your chapter Federal ID number or where to find it if it is needed? Each chapter should complete this Chapter Check-off list with your board members and send it to our Records & Recognition SPM.

Chapter Project Guide

This is a form that your chapter should complete within 30 days of each project. Details from the project such as expenses, materials needed, steps taken to plan the event and any ideas or suggestions for future chairs should be included on this form. These forms, once filled out, should be placed in your chapter's files. In the future when your chapter wants to run this project again, the details of the project will be right there for you to use. The form is found in the R&R Manual which each chapter has a copy of. It is also found in the Book of Forms on Page 38. You may also contact our Records & Recognition SPM for this form or for more information.

Project of the Trimester

Chapters want to know what other chapters are doing. Here is your chance. When you run a project you can submit it to the proper state program manager and to the R&R SPM. Each trimester, each SPM will pick a project that will be recognized at convention. All projects submitted will be add to the R&R web page.

Project Report Highlights Form

I am still collecting ideas from chapters. Judy started this last year. Submit your project and it will be part of the web page. Again this is aimed at sharing what is working in our chapters.

US Project Recognition

The United States Women of Today have a program called Project Recognition. This is very similar to our Single Project Entry. There are two times during the year that these are accepted and judged on the US level. These are to be submitted to the US Programming VP. Projects are entered into one of six categories and judged according to a standard set of guidelines. If you have completed the Project Report, and the Single Project Entry, you have all the information needed to submit a US Project Recognition to the USWT. Please contact our Records & Recognition SPM if you would like help with submitting this to the USWT.
