The Year of the SHSMD Member
It has been a challenging year. But we know that you and your colleagues did great things during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please take a moment to recognize one or two colleagues (or a team!) on your social platform of choice, using the hashtag #SHSMDkudos. This will boost morale on your team and show your appreciation in a national way!
Here’s how:
- Think of a co-worker who did something new, great, exciting this past year and write a quick sentence or two about him/her/them.
- Request or take a picture of that person with one of our templates:
How To Use Templates
These are a few options, depending on your software availability and expertise:
- POSTER: Ask the colleague you are recognizing to hold a printout of the poster, take their picture on your phone to accompany your #kudos
- HEADSHOT (Photoshop):
- Open this image in Photoshop
- File > place your colleagues headshot or photo of choice
- Move and place/resize over the text “place headshot here!” – make sure #SHSMDkudos is still visible
- Add any other text you’d like (name, title, org, etc.)
- Use this picture to accompany your #kudos post
- HEADSHOT (Word):
- Open a blank word document and click Insert > Pictures
- Navigate to and select “shsmdkudos-headshot.jpg”
- Insert > Shapes > Rectangle and draw the shape where you want the headshot to go
- In the "Format" tab, click Shape Fill > Picture and select your colleagues headshot or photo of choice
- Use this picture to accompany your #kudos post
- ZOOM/TEAMS:
- Send the “shsmdkudos-zoom.png” image to your colleague of choice
- Start a Zoom or Teams meeting with them and ask them to change their background to that image:
- Take a screenshot of them (using a snipping tool)
- Use this picture to accompany your #kudos post
- Holding this poster print-out.
- Paste their headshot on this image.
- Save this Zoom/Teams background and snap a picture of them over a conference call.
- POSTER: Ask the colleague you are recognizing to hold a printout of the poster, take their picture on your phone to accompany your #kudos
- Post your shout-out, tagging that person and your organization – don’t forgot to use the hashtag #SHSMDkudos.
- SHSMD will retweet/share all mentions! We will also share the images at the SHSMD Connections in-person and virtual conference.
For 2021, we want to highlight ALL members and share their stories and excellence from this past year. We will resume normal Rising Star and Leadership Excellence awards in 2022. Check out the 2020 award recipients.
