Region 3 Awards and Recognition Committee (ARC) Report Because of the success of the pilot program in 2012, nominations, endorsements and evaluations were handled on-line at the Region 3 Awards and Recognition Portal. At least one nomination was received for each of the six Region 3 awards. Two excellent nominations were received for the Professional Leadership Award. Since the ARC could not determine a winner, the ARC recommended to the Region 3 ExCom that two winners be approved for this award. The ExCom approved the recommendation. A PowerPoint presentation and an accompanying script have been developed for the awards banquet. Charles E. Hickman Chair, Region 3 ARC
