MoT #6: Achievement Recognition

2. Why Does Recognition Matter?

Very few (if any) of your club members are completely selfless and perfectly self-motivated; recognition can create motivation to keep going in the program and remain with your club. Seeing other club members honored can motivate others toward their next goals as well. Consistently recognizing and honoring achievement will create a positive cycle in your club that drives progress toward educational and other goals.

In contrast, clubs that fail to acknowledge achievement can create disappointment in their members, and then end up creating a negative cycle that causes progress toward educational goals to slow to a crawl, if not stop.
