It's Maggie Time!
You worked hard last year to deliver outstanding marketing and public relations pieces that served your hospitals well. Now, your best work could earn accolades from your peers if you enter the 24th Annual Maggie Awards. (Remember, this year is our first year to hold the awards in November, so this year only the entry time period will be cover a year and a half - from January 1, 2010, until May 31, 2011.)
The Maggie Awards competition, sponsored annually by MHA’s Society for Health Care Marketing and Public Relations, recognizes excellence in the field of health care marketing and public relations. It’s easy to enter. Just select your hospital’s best work, follow the simple entry guidelines in this brochure, and send your entries to MHA by Friday, July 29th.
A Maggie Award is not necessarily awarded for every category. Entries must earn enough points to be judged “excellent” to win a Maggie or “good” to win an Award of Excellence plaque, regardless of how many entries are in a category. Winners will be notified via email and your CEO will receive a personal (and complimentary!) invitation to the Maggie Awards Gala.
Awards will be presented during a special Maggie Awards Gala, held in conjunction with the society’s annual conference, on Thursday, November 3. All winners will also be listed in MHA News Now and will be recognized in local and statewide news publications.
So step up to the plate and enter your best work in the Maggies. Remember that entries must be received on or before Friday, July 29. If you have any questions, please contact Shawn Rossi at (800) 289-8884, (601) 368-3237 or srossi@mhanet.org.
