The nationwide Cooperative Communicators Association (CCA) is accepting nominations for their Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Communicator Award. Recent past winners include Karen Moore, Baldwin EMC, Summerdale, Ala., and Donn Develder and Sheryl Meshke, Associated Milk Producers, Inc. (AMPI), New Ulm, Minn.
CCA initiated this award in 1992 to recognize the commitment of a cooperative CEO to open communication as an integral part of an effective management style. “CEO nominees should provide leadership toward integrating communication into cooperative planning and management,” says Kelly Jimenez, CCA Board of Directors. “This includes support for cooperative communication staff; personal communication skills; and the cooperative, itself, should exhibit a successful communication program.”
CEO Communicator Award nominations are due March 3. Nominators can find the necessary information at https://www.communicators.coop/awards/ceo-communicator-award/.
CCA exists to improve the effectiveness of all cooperative communicators; advance professional standards and exchange facts, research, techniques, and opinions among cooperative communicators; and conduct an annual institute and other programs suitable to meeting the purpose of the association.
