Chapter 46 takes third Nationwide in NTEU Communications Award

Communications Awards

 

NTEU Chapter 46 was honored with a third place overall standing of the communication award presented during ceremonies held at the NTEU National Convention in August.  The award recognizes superior communication.  NTEU is widely recognized for its excellence in communication and some of the most innovative communication is being done by NTEU chapters.

 

Communication is essential to our success as a union and we can be proud that our members often know essential information about their workplaces before their managers.  The Excellence in Chapter Communications Awards recognize outstanding achievement in overall communications—how well chapters reach their targeted audiences, the effectiveness of the message; communication results and writing and design.  A panel of communications professionals from various Washington DC associations judged this year’s award.  Included in our panel was the former Washington Post Federal Diary columnist.

 

Chapter 46’s entry drew plaudits from the judges for definitely having an eye on increasing membership.  The judges also praised creative fliers, a focus on face-to-face contact, a good mix of national and local information, and applauded a flier inviting bargaining unit employees to ‘lunch with the president.’
