Join the MHSCN Awards Judging Committee 

We are creating a new MHSCN Awards Judging Committee to take on the fun and important task of judging this year’s awards.

The MHSCN Awards cannot be successful without the contributions of volunteer judges. Judges read communications plans, review marketing campaigns, and evaluate the work of candidates for the coveted Rising Star and Professional of the Year awards. This is a great way to meet other professionals working in healthcare marketing, communications and PR, and review award-worthy work taking place across the state. The commitment to serve as a judge consists of the following:

  • One virtual judge training on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
  • Evaluate 3-6 award submissions on your own time by the deadline of Oct. 13.

Register to be a judge today and make a difference to MHSCN members who are doing notable work in their fields.

To sign up, or if you have additional questions about volunteering as a judge, please contact us at info@mhscn.com.
