2024 Awards Program and Nomination Process


The Awards Committee is pleased to announce this year's

Awards Program and Nomination Process.


Guild Awards


The criteria for the Guild Awards are based on the five essential pillars of an active Guild. These pillars are:


1. Spiritual Formation - Provide opportunities to expand and enrich one’s own spiritual life.


2. Educational Formation - Provide opportunities for all health care professionals to discuss pertinent medical-legal issues that occur in their daily medical practices and help them understand the changing political landscape that threatens physician conscience rights.

 

3. Fellowship - Provide opportunities for all health care professionals to come together for mutual support and camaraderie. 


4. Service - Provide opportunities for all health care professionals to be involved in service projects.


5. Growth - Recruit five (5) new national dues paying members (in any category).


Guild Awards and How to Qualify


The Pillars Certificate Award

How to qualify: Complete three of the five Pillars of an active Guild. 


St. Luke Award

How to qualify: Complete all five Pillars of an active Guild. 


The Outstanding Guild Award

How to qualify: The Outstanding Guild Award recognizes the Guild that demonstrates exceptional accomplishment in all five pillar areas and promotes the CMA mission among Guild members and the community.


Distinguished Guardian of the Faith Award

They live out their faith and their love of God in their personal and professional lives through service and commitment to CMA's mission and projects. Their dedication and servant leadership are indicative of a loving response to God’s call to discipleship.
