Plan On Attending The 2011 MAP Annual Awards Banquet
The
13th annual MAP Awards Banquet is quickly approaching and here are
some important reminders to your members:
You should have posted your banquet signup sheet that was sent out in November. Although there is no cost to individual MAP members and their 1 guest to attend the event, we require a headcount of those attending, as we are charged per plate. Please do not sign up to attend unless you are committed to coming to the banquet: If you are not sure, DON’T SIGN UP.
The deadline for unit Attendance headcounts is FRIDAY JANUARY 20th. Please email or leave a message at the MAP office with the total number of members and guests, including award recipients. MAP Vice Presidents will be contacting units as well to make sure that a count has been entered, even if you have no one attending. In addressing concerns brought to the board concerning attendees’ behavior from last year’s event, the board will be taking a strict zero tolerance approach to negative individual/group behavior during the banquet. The banquet is meant to be a social event, but it is also a night to honor the duty and sacrifices of our peers and they deserve the same respect from their fellow members as do all the guests who attend.
As in our previous banquets, we are again conducting a raffle of items. This year the proceeds will go directly to MAP Charities. If your local would like to donate an item please contact me at the office and let me know prior to the banquet.
We
are drawing closer to the annual MAP Awards Banquet! This year, the banquet will
be held on Saturday January 28th, 2012 from 5:30pm-12am at the
Italian Heritage Center in Portland. The Italian Heritage Center is located at
40 Westland Ave. in Portland off of Outer Congress Street. This year our
entertainment will again be provided by MOTOR BOOTY AFFAIR.
The
schedule for the Awards banquet is as follows;
5:30-6:30pm
Social Hour
6:30-7:30pm
Dinner
7:30-9:00pm
Awards Presentations

Entertainment
The
most important part of the evening is the recognition of our fellow members who
represent their departments, MAP and the profession with outstanding performance
in their duties. As awards are based on merit and nominations from the
membership, it is important for ALL local units to participate and speak up on
behalf of their fellow brothers and sisters.
Attached
is the list of 11 award categories for the banquet. All nominations MUST be in writing and RECEIVED on or before DECEMBER 14th
2010 to be presented at the December full board meeting for acceptance.
Any
nominations received after the 14th WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Please take the time to copy, distribute and post this notice and award
categories for all your members and encourage their participation.
Nominations
for awards must include the officer’s name, department and supporting
information to support a vote on the nomination. We will then notify local
presidents and the officer making the nomination as to the status of the
nomination after the December full board meeting. In your nomination indicate
whether or not the award will be a surprise. It will be the responsibility of
the nominating local to make sure the award winner comes to the banquet as well
as notifying their chief to invite them as well. Take the time to nominate a
member as many times our work goes unnoticed by administration and the public.
Although
there is no cost to individual MAP members and their 1 guest to attend the
event, we require a headcount of those attending, as we are charged per plate.
Please do not sign up to attend unless you are committed to coming to the
banquet: If you are not sure, DON’T SIGN UP.
The
attached signup sheet should be posted so that all those interested can have the
opportunity to consider attending. The deadline for unit headcounts will be
FRIDAY JANUARY 20th.
