MOAA Communications Award 2023 for year 2022

2023 Col. Marvin J. Harris Communications Award Contest Winners

Each year, national MOAA holds the Col. Marvin J. Harris Communications Award Contest to identify councils and chapters that do an outstanding job communicating with their members and community. MOAA affiliates competed in two categories of competition: print and e-newsletters and websites. A panel of judges scored the submissions based on a set of subjective criteria, looking at both design and content. Councils and chapters received extra credit for communication efforts that went above and beyond established standards, with additional points being awarded in the print and e-newsletter category to affiliates that published their own membership directory and recruiting materials. In the website category, affiliates that communicated with their members via email networks and social media channels received extra credit. We are pleased to recognize the Susquehanna Chapter that received the five-star awards for its exemplary communication efforts. The Chapter also received the award in 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for its Newsletter and Website.
