Appreciation. Miriam Webster provides a simple but elegant definition of the word; "a feeling of being grateful for something. An ability to understand the worth, quality or importance of something.”

For Vivit, being grateful is for all the somethings that encompass the efforts our volunteer leaders put forth each year; holding events in local Chapters and SIGs, speaking at webinars or local meetings, networking and sharing experiences with Vivit membership in Chapter meetings, and staying active in the Vivit user community and social media.

It is time once more for the Vivit organization to look back over the year at those efforts by our leaders and appreciate those select leaders for their continued contributions to Vivit members by recognizing them. Each year, Vivit asks membership to appreciate those stand-out leaders to be recognized for their efforts by nominating them for one of the following awards:  Leader of the Year, Speaker of the Year and Champion of the Year. It is then Vivit’s honor to select from those nominees.

It is our pleasure to announce this year’s America’s nominees. Congratulations to all our nominees; the Vivit organization appreciates your hard work and dedication.
