1MC Spirit Award - Nomination Form

Award Details

What it recognizes: The steady force behind the team.

This award honors the organizer who brings reliability, collaboration, and support, making light of the team's work — especially for the lead organizer — and helping create a space where everyone feels welcome.

A nominee for this award consistently demonstrates:

- A steady, dependable presence that the team can count on. Their reliability is not occasional. It is built into how they show up — session after session, task after task — without needing to be asked or reminded.

- A collaborative spirit that makes everyone's role lighter, especially the lead organizer's. They anticipate what is needed, fill gaps before they become problems, and take ownership in ways that keep the team moving forward.

- A genuine commitment to creating a space where every organizer feels seen, supported, and valued. They do not just participate in the team — they strengthen it, bringing warmth and consistency that makes collaboration feel effortless.
