Passport
|Milt Cook Award
The
Passport Program is a standardized exercise that promotes
action and innovation. With the assistance of an instructional
template, individual organizations plan and execute a strategy
of progress within the field of resource management. Specifically,
they identify an opportunity for innovation; prescribe a program
to address the opportunity; implement the program; measure
the results; and undertake further action to improve future
outcomes. It is a description of the organizations' overall
experience that is submitted to a panel of veteran APICS volunteers
and regional leadership. The panel evaluates the programs
and provides objective guidance through instructional feedback.
The
Passport Program encourages strong organizational management
practices, including solid strategic planning, continuity
among leadership, and recruiting and retaining members.
Individual
members also benefit by learning management skills that translate
to on-the-job success. These skills involve stronger communication
techniques, enhanced writing abilities, expanded leadership
acumen, and sound financial practices.
In
addition to the panel evaluation and guidance, organizations
also receive continued Society support, recognition and achievement
awards at the annual Volunteer Leadership Recognition Reception,
and publicity from a year-long campaign on the APICS Web site.

MILT COOK AWARD
(text by William Brennan)
Milt Cook was a member of APICS Region VII who exemplified
all the dedication and guiding principles that APICS was founded
upon. Milt was enthusiastic, involved, and gave 100 percent
in everything he did for his chapter and the region. Unfortunately,
he died in 1990.
The region adopted the Milt Cook Award in his honor as our
highest award for service and dedication to the Region
and principles of APICS. This award is bestowed each
year upon the member who has stood out as the kind of person
that Milt Cook was.
