  One Week Left to Nominate – UAI Excellence Awards

  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on June 23, 2022 at 10:00 am

  Hello UAI Members,

  We are officially one week away from the UAI Excellence Awards nomination deadline, which is on June 30, 2022. For those who have already taken time to submit your nominations, we thank you again and wish you the best of luck! For those who have not submitted nominations, there’s still time and we encourage you to do so for many reasons, which we have outlined below. Head over to our Awards Portal where you can find descriptions and full nomination forms for all six award categories along with our Nomination Toolkit.

  Here are a few reasons why a UAI Excellence Award will benefit you and your team. Have any questions? Reach out to me any time at kpraet@utilityanalytics.com. I am happy to help you with your nominations.

   

  WHY ENTER? 

  1. There is no better way to REWARD, RECOGNIZE, and THANK the individuals and/or your entire team for their hard work, determination, innovation, professionalism, and leadership than nominating them for an award. Do you have a professional on your team that has gone above and beyond in their role? Do you have a leader that supports, encourages, and recognizes you for your work? Do you have a team that is or has worked on an innovative use case or project? If you answered yes to any of these questions, than you have your #1 reason to submit a nomination for a UAI Excellence Award!
  2. Raise your profile. Across all sizes and types of organizations, award winners and finalists benefit from industry exposure through a coordinated PR campaign and exposure to some of the most influential people in the profession. Our program offers unique PR and marketing collateral through articles and interviews and featured in our newsletter and on UAI Connect. 
  3. Measure your performance. By entering, you will be able to gauge how your organization, utility analytics team, and professionals compare against the very best. 
  4. Acknowledge your team’s efforts. In the new energy economy of utility analytics, achievements are easy to overlook. The process of completing the entry form allows you to pause and consider what (and who) contributed to your success and where you can go from here. Bonus: finalists are strongly encouraged to attend the awards ceremony and celebrate success with their team! 
  5. Impress your leadership. Your leadership wants to leverage and promote a winning team and company, and reputation is often a factor in gaining approval for new and exciting projects. Show your leadership that you are part of a winning team, one that has won an award for excellence in innovation. 
  6. Retain existing employees. Winning awards can improve employee morale, too. When employees are proud of their team, organization, or company’s achievements, they have an excuse to brag to their friends and family. 
  7. Attract new employees. Awards can help you attract the best new employees. People are drawn to award-winning businesses because they want to work for successful companies. In today’s experience economy, potential employees are looking at awards and company rankings to make career decisions. 
  8. Celebrate your achievements as a team. Celebrate your team’s success by attending the awards ceremony at UA Week. Each finalist receives one complimentary pass for the event and a discount code to help you bring even more team members! 

   

  Thanks again and best of luck!
