B1.7: Best Service Project
This award goes to the chapter(s) organizing the best service project during the year. Because there are so many great projects each year, the awards committee may weigh various criteria more heavily than others. Therefore, the nomination should be written in such a manner as to communicate not just the project itself but the importance of its outcome! Remember in the end that every service project counts and is important towards our service goals.
Describe in detail a specific large event or a long-term, regularly scheduled service project. It may include other Chapters or organizations from the campus or community. Please explain this service project effort and include details on the following criteria and other information that make this project the best:
• The chapter(s) and other organizations, if applicable, who organized the event;
• The targeted audience being served (e.g. an individual, group/organization, campus, community, the Nation, etc.);
• The number of people involved in implementing the project;
• The outcome of the project (e.g. people served, money raised, physical results, etc.);
• How often the event occurs, if applicable;
• Any other significant details about the project (e.g. publicity, communications, methodology, etc.).
