Goals for Liaisons

February 12, Thursday – 1:30 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.

Liaisons – What to Do

Encourage the company to…Use this process to examine their

“values in action.” It can be a culture building experience.

Tell its own story (judges not looking for some ideal)

Pay close attention to Section 4 -- “How well you do what you say you stand for.” Show how you stand out in your industry?

Use the Nominee Conference Call 2/12 & 2/17


Liaisons – What to Avoid !!

As a liaison be sure that you don’t ….

Help the company complete the entry form.

Tell companies what to say about themselves.

Offer to review the company’s entry form or suggest improvements.
