2. Department Officers and Chairmen should be familiar with their related program awards available to Units and encourage and promote participation.
3. Plaques with no competitive participation for a period of three consecutive years should be retired or ruled reviewed and amended to increase participation.
4. Department special awards should be made at Department Convention by appropriate chairman to recipients of sponsoring Units. ie. Americanism chairman present Savings Bond to Girl Scout Achievement recipient, Education Chairman to National President's Scholarship winner, etc.
5. Units winning plaques with rules requiring replacement after three consecutive years shall have the option of retaining and replacing plaque or returning plaque to the field for future recipients.
6. If possible, and unless specified in the rules, Unit reports should be judged by American Legion Auxiliary members.
7. All reports post-marked prior to or on deadline date will be judged for applicable awards.
