Awards Submission Process
You can use the National Database System (NDS) to submit
an award regarding a CSPS member, a Zone, a Division or any other group of
people. If your Zone or Division uses the NDS to manage their awards submissions,
then you also can submit Zone/Division awards here. All National awards are managed by the NDS.
The process is easy and can be done through 6 easy Steps:
From the Main Menu, go to the Awards Menu by clicking on the
MANAGE AWARDS or SUBMIT AN AWARD link on the top right part of the page (the
name of the link is different depending on your CSPS Security Status):
From the Award Menu, click again on the link SUBMIT AN AWARD:
1st Step; You will have to decide if the Award you wish
to submit is for a single CSPS Member or a Zone, Division, Group of CSPS Members,
Non CSPS Member, Patrol or any other Organization:
Just click on the appropriate link on the STEP 1 of 6 page.
2nd Step; You will have to enter the CSPS ID or the
name of the person you wish to recommend for an award:
A) If you have selected, on step 1, to submit an award to a
single Member of the CSPS, you will now have to enter his/her CSPS ID number.
If you do not know it, then you can do a search for it by clicking on the link on this page.
Once the CSPS ID number has been entered, click on SELECT to continue to
Step 3.
B) If you have selected, on step 1, to submit an award for a Zone,
Division, Group of CSPS Members, Non CSPS Member, or any other Organization
or Patrol, you will have to write down the name(s) of the people or the
Organization. Also, select from the lists the Zone or Division these people
or Organization is associated with. Once these two required fields are completed,
click on CONTINUE to continue to Step 3.
3rd Step; You will have to enter any additional Positions
held by the CSPS Member and then select the level of Award you wish to submit
for the people/Organization you selected in Step 2:
A) If you have selected, on step 1, to submit an award to a single
Member of the CSPS, you will have to enter for Step 3 all additional Positions once
held by this CSPS member. Also, based on the
previous Awards this CSPS Member has received, you will have to
choose a ZONE, DIVISION or NATIONAL award button at the bottom of the page. This will bring you
to Step 4. If you are returned to Step 3 and get the message that the Zone or Division
you have selected is NOT managing their awards using the NDS, the process
ends here. Please contact your Zone President to learn how to submit an
award for the CSPS member you have Selected on Step 2.
B) If you have selected, on step 1, to submit an award to a Zone,
Division, Group of CSPS Members, Non CSPS Member, or any other Organization
or Patrol, you will have to select if you wish to submit a ZONE, DIVISION
or NATIONAL award by clicking on one of the three buttons at the bottom of
the page. This will bring you to Step 4. If you are returned to Step 3 and get the
message that the Zone or Division you have selected is NOT managing their
awards using the NDS, the process ends here. Please contact your Zone President
to learn how to submit an award for the Zone, Division, Group of CSPS Members,
Non CSPS Member, or any other Organization or Patrol that you selected in Step
2.
4th Step; You will have to select the Award you wish
to submit:
(A (single) or B (Multiple) ) Here you will find the list of possible awards that
can be submitted for a CSPS member (s) / Organization. You can view if the
award applies by clicking on the VIEW link. This will display the description
of the award. Once you have made your choice, click on the link SELECT to
go to Step 5.
5th Step; You will have to enter WHY you think your nominee deserves to get this award:
(A (single) or B (Multiple) )On this page you type (or cut and paste for another document) the reason why this nominee
deserves to be nominated for the award you have chosen in Step 4. Be brief
and only describe WHAT they have done. He is a good patroller is NOT a good description to write of why he should receive it. He
has written a new on snow ion procedure is a good description to
write down. Once completed, click on the CONTINUE button to go to Step 6.
6th Step; Final Step, it is time to review what you
have entered. You will also see to whom this submission will be forwarded to:
(A (single) or B (Multiple) ) Now is the time to review what you want to submit.
Go back if you need to. You will also see the list of CSPS Members that the
submission will be forwarded to and who will see it. If a name is unchecked, this
mean that he/she will not get the email notification. If the name is in gray, it is
because the Award is destined to that person or that person is on an award
committee; he will not see it until it has been remitted. To submit the award,
click on the SUBMIT THIS AWARD button at the bottom of the page. Be patient,
it may takes 2-3 minutes to send all the emails. You will also get a confirmation
by email of your submission, and you will be redirected to the Award Menu. So
once you have clicked the button, please do nothing until you have been returned to the
Award Menu..
