To further encourage each of us to create the world we would love to live in, MOE 365 is initiating a special, limited edition, PERSONAL RECOGNITION button. This button will not be distributed freely (like our dozen or so other buttons), but must be EARNED by an individual.

The way it works...

Each MOE team member attending the Championship (about 60 students and mentors) will have only 3 (three) PERSONAL RECOGNITION buttons. Each button holder will be instructed to award a button for what they believe to be the best examples deserving recognition in the following areas:

* Gracious Professionalism
* Helpfulness
* Spirit / Enthusiasm
* Xtreme Safety
* Bringing people together

These areas and how our team members assess people against them is going to be somewhat subjective. However, the overriding factor is actions "Deserving Special Recognition."

Not only will recognized individuals receive one of our limited edition buttons (~180 in all), but the MOE team member awarding the button will record the name, team number, and reason for the recognition at the time of the award. We plan on posting all recognition awardees (or at least as many as we obtain information for) on our website shortly after the Championship.

So put your Gracious Professional game-face on and do what you always do at FIRST competitions, create an environment we all wish we lived in everyday!

..and look out for those glowing green jerseys. They might end up pinning a button on you!

See y'all in Atlanta. Safe travels everyone!

P.S. The button graphics will be posted soon.

OU OU OU!!! I WANT I WANT I WANT! I'll be sure to do what it takes to earn one...

but I won't be doing it just for the button... It's my job...
