CCB Membership Awards

by Vivian Younger, Membership Committee chair

Greetings to All Chapter and Affiliate Representatives

As most of you may know by now, I have been appointed to be the CCB Membership Committee Chair. It would be awesome for the CCB Membership to double in
size!

Is your chapter currently working on a project that will benefit individuals or your community? The Chapter of the Year Award (COTY Award) is presented
by the CCB Membership Committee at each spring CCB conference and convention. At our April, 2014 convention, this award was presented to the Humboldt Council
of the Blind for their efforts in getting audio description into their local movie theater. Chapter members had demonstrations, contacted the AMC company,
and gave flyers to interested people.

We will be accepting letters from chapters for projects developed and completed in 2016. Please submit them to the CCB state office by February 15, 2017.
In the letter, please explain the group chapter project, who benefited from the effort and the time-line of the project. We would like to be able to present
this award at the upcoming 2017 Spring CCB conference and convention.

CCB Membership Incentive Awards

How about winning one of the CCB Membership Incentive Awards in 2017! They are presented at every CCB conference and convention to the chapters or Affiliates
having the highest membership increase, and the other award is for the chapter/affiliate having the largest percentage of membership increase.

We occasionally offer longevity awards for those who have been in CCB for more than 25 or 50 years. If you have been in CCB for 25 years, ask for a 25-year
award. Likewise, if you have beean in CCB for 50 years, ask for a 50-year award. Ask your chapter or affiliate president to contact the office with this
information.

We sincerely urge all CCB chapters and affiliates to come together in order to work on building their membership! Let'S do it!
