Earn Your MOE 365 Personal Recognition Button in Atlanta!

[Mr MOE]

Championship Attendees:

Obviously, FIRST is all about recognition and inspiration. This absolutely holds true for the FIRST Championship event. 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.

Spikey:

If we had Personal Recognition buttons at Philly, we might have done just what you suggest.

I recommend that we look forward to all the fun and excitement awaiting us at the Championship Event and not backward. Let's all make this event one we can recollect with only positive memories.

See you guys in the Dome!

Do they come in colors other than green?

[Steve W]

Oh, Oh Me. I got spirit yes I do. Either that or I am nuts. That is a great idea you have come up with. A team with so much spirit giving out Spirit buttons and GP and..... Way to lead the way. See you at Championships.

You mean there are other colors besides GREEN? Why in the world would you need more colors?

Why just settle for "Nationals" when you can attend
"THE CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT"

There is also RED which you will see if you attend Mr. Moe's and my presentation on Multiple High School Teams at the conference! It may be harsh on the eyes, but we WILL keep your attention that way!

O so there is green and red. But ORANGE trumps all! It is too bad that 648 will not be attending the championship event. But guess what. We'll see ya next year! Haha.

Referring to the MOE Personal Recognition buttons and being reminded of the classic Monty Python SPAM sketch, I can only answer...

"Well, there's not much green on it."
