INTRODUCTION
EVERY MEMBER OF SERTOMA IS A PRICELESS ASSET!
Sertoma’s
“Incentives & Recognition Program” is designed
to recognize outstanding performance in community service,
individual achievement, effective leadership performance
and collective efforts by Sertomans and Sertoma clubs.
The club secretary is responsible for the success of the
Incentives & Recognition Program provided for clubs
and for individual members. Thus, club presidents must provide
adequate support to the secretary to ensure timeliness in
reporting, as well as accuracy.
To better manage and evaluate the effectiveness of each,
Sertoma Sponsorships are monitored at Sertoma Headquarters.
Concise information is needed. Awards and reporting forms
have been modified for easier reporting.
Each award notification must be received at Sertoma Headquarters
by the date established by the Board in the award guidelines.
The Headquarters staff will administer all awards, including
Service To Mankind, Sertoman of the Year, and any other
awards so designated by the Sertoma President.
Recognition is effective in direct proportion to the time
it takes to recognize achievement. It is important that
award requests be expeditiously forwarded to Sertoma Headquarters.
Your Headquarters staff will forward official incentives
to the next higher level of leadership for presentation.
Sertoma leaders must present these awards with the dignity
they deserve. This will create a lasting remembrance for
a “job well done.”

is some basic Sertoma information necessary to complete
several reports and forms:
