What's a TRAM, you ask? TRAM is an awards program
created and adopted by the Milwaukee Chapter CSI. TRAM stands
for Tangible Rewards for Active Membership. It is designed to
foster CSI involvement by providing a method to award members
for their contributions to the chapter and the region. Every
time a member, (but not a board member), makes an outstanding
contribution to the chapter, a TRAM report should be filled
out and placed in the TRAM box. Contributions include, but are
not limited to:
-
Sponsoring a new member
-
Bringing a guest to a meeting
Having a table top at a meeting
-
Doing a presentation at a meeting
-
Joining a committee
-
Attending a committee meeting
-
Contributing an article to the newsletter
-
Conceiving some other wonderful way to advance
the chapter – be creative…
Before the June Tour and Awards night, the recipient
of an all expense paid trip to the Region Conference, including
registration, lodging and transportation, will be selected and
the winner will be announced at the Awards Banquet. Let's keep
the TRAMs rolling; get started by using the report below! (download
