A Celebration Partnership: Council, District, and Unit Leadership

A Celebration Partnership: Council, District, and Unit Leadership

Our 100th Anniversary Celebration plan has been developed to be a true partnership between the national council and local councils, districts, and units. Together, we can achieve meaningful outcomes.

To assure this is a great partnership experience, our council celebration plan is built, and will be implemented, on the following principles:

1. High quality vs. high quantity: In addition to using the elements of the national celebration plan, our council plan includes only a few carefully selected high quality celebration activities.

2. More than a hand-off … a hand-up!: Our celebration activities have been developed, and will be delivered, as a helping hand up for district and units in achieving their goals.

3. Motivational rather than a mandate: We have selected and developed activities thatare so compelling people will want to participate.

4. Simple and doable: We have easy to use plans and materials to achieve our celebration outcomes.

5. Leverages current programming: Celebration activities are designed to fit into things we are already doing.

6. Recognizes good work and leadership: Our celebration engagement programs includes thanks and recognition to organizers and participants.

7. Communicated broadly through the ranks: Our simple, but comprehensive, communication plan is targeted to reach each of our audiences with the messages and information they need.

Celebration Infrastructure

An infrastructure has been developed to support our celebration partnership of council, district, and unit leaders — and drive implementation of our plan.
