I can be too subtle, it seems - only announcing that the STARS Nomination Form was available in conjunction with announcements of the main awards, not for themselves, so we've only received five nominations so far.  We're more amazing than that - I want to see more STARS.  According to old cartoons, I could achieve that by hitting myself in the head with a hammer, but there's a better way - extending the deadline to Friday, September 22.

Here's how it works:

• All MCMLA members can self-nominate, identifying achievements like articles or books/chapters published; offices held; presentations given; awards, AHIP status changes, or promotions received; etc.
• MCMLA members who are in attendance at the MCMLA annual meeting will receive a star pin when they check in for the meeting to wear with their name badge.
• A poster will be created with the names of all the STARS and displayed at the MCMLA annual meeting.
• A list of all the STARS’ accomplishments will be created and posted on the MCMLA website.
• All STARS participants will have their name put in a container for a drawing to be held at the MCMLA annual business meeting. Winners do not need to be present at the MCMLA meeting to win the prize(s).
• Prizes will be three $20 gift certificates.
