PAHO to Reward and Recognize Most Prominent Members of Communities of Practice

The most prominent members of PAHO's Communities of Practice on Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 will be selected based on the quality of interaction and participation, with special emphasis on informative, innovative, and valuable contributions to the discussion topics in the forums. The quality of interaction within the community will also be a factor in the selection process.

PAHO/WHO will offer recognition to the most prominent community member in each of its Communities of Practice on Pandemic (H1N1) 2009: Management of Cases in Clinical Settings and Management of Cases in Family & Community Health Settings. The most prominent community member will be selected based on the quality of interaction and participation; informative, innovative, and valuable contributions to the discussion topics in the discussion forums. The quality of interaction within the community will also be a contributing factor towards the selection of the Prominent Member by the community moderators, facilitators and leaders after the community comes to a close.

The winners will receive a special mention, a PAHO/WHO Certificate of Participation signed and awarded by Dr. Socorro Gross, Assistant Director PAHO/WHO, besides having his/her name, picture and acknowledgement of contribution highlighted in the PAHO/WHO Website. Other registered community members with significant contributions to the discussions will also be highlighted in the site.

Note: There will be one Special Mention of 'The Most Prominent Community Member' in each Community of Practice. Certification (to be mailed to the recipient) and recognition in the PAHO/WHO Website will be followed up within 1 month of the closing date of the CoPs. These CoPs are open to all.
