Edict #15
“If we’re going to be damned, let’s be damned for what we really are.”
Commendations
Commendations are awarded to individuals or groups of individuals within the Club to recognise the work they have conducted above and beyond what is required of them.
Levels of Commendation
There are two levels of commendation that can be awarded:
-
Cabinet Level Commendations. These can be awarded by Fleet Commanders or Department Directors for work associated with their Fleet or Department, in consultation with the President.
-
Presidential Commendation. This can be awarded by the President for work across the Club. A Presidential Commendation may also be awarded instead of a Cabinet Level Commendation if the President believes that it is more fitting for the level of work conducted.
A person or group may not receive multiple commendations for the same work or action.
Commendation Descriptions
Each commendation must be accompanied by a short description (approx 250 words) stating what the individual or group has done to deserve the commendation. If approved, this description will be recorded alongside the commendation.
Presentation
Commendations will be awarded via Presidential edict, with the individual being notified by email. The awarding of Commendations should be made as public as possible (eg on the Club news feed, Facebook page, etc). Where possible, individuals will be presented with the commendations during a ceremony to be held once during each presidential term on a date determined by the president or their designate (and may coincide with other events, such as the STF Awards ceremony).
