MedStar Georgetown University Hospital Uses MK Shannon Awards to Honor Outstanding Physicians

In 2008 International Conference Management contacted MK Shannon Awards & Rewards to select awards suitable for use by the MedStar Program at Georgetown University. The University MedStar Program has held conferences each year to honor outstanding work by physicians in various fields of medical study by presenting them awards designed by MK Shannon.

 

Most recently the MedStar program at Georgetown University has honored the doctors shown in the photos here.

MedStar Georgetown University Hospital's many attributes include an impressive array of centers of excellence—in cancer, gastroenterology, neurosciences, and transplants. We, at MK Shannon Awards and Rewards, are proud to provide awards to honor and recognize outstanding individuals and the work they are doing to meet the healthcare needs of their communities.

Bill O’Reilly Receives Unique Award by MK Shannon

Bill O'Reilly with MK Shannon Award

Bill O’ Reilly, the prominent TV journalist and host of “The O’Reilly Factor” on FOX News, was the recipient of a unique recognition award by MK Shannon Awards and Rewards. The unique award entitled “Heart of Gold” was chosen by the Wounded Warrior Project to be presented for its “Tony Snow Award”. This award is given annually to honor citizens in corporate America or the media who by their actions, have made a significant difference in the lives of injured service men and women. It also honors unwavering commitment to the Wounded Warrior Project and its mission. MK Shannon served in the Red Cross in Vietnam during the Vietnam War and feels a deep personal connection to projects that serve and bring attention to the men and women who have served our country overseas in the military.

ClubCorp Circle of Excellence Awards

ClubCorp prides itself in being “the world leader in private clubs.” ClubCorp comprises an elite collection of private golf and country clubs, business clubs, sports clubs, and alumni clubs. Its private clubs are unrivaled in their scope, quality of facilities and services, and are distinguished further by the collection of names found on their rosters of membership.

Chairman Success Award

"For the past 15 years, ClubCorp has partnered with MK Shannon on our most prestigious award—our Circle of Excellence. Out of our 160 Clubs only about one-quarter of our Clubs receive this award per year and when they do, they proudly display their Circle of Excellence award's for their Members, Guests, and fellow Employee Partners to admire. MK Shannon always produces quality work, and is responsive to our every need. Thanks for your continuous excellent service!" ~Kay Miller, ClubCorp Executive Assistant

ClubCorp awards member clubs every year for achievement according to their level of services, the quality of those services, and the facility. Only a few clubs qualify. Those that do qualify are presented with the award entitled “Success”. This piece is presented along with matching “Success” lapel pins that are presented by the recipient’s club to each of its staff from the grounds keeper to the manager. This program was so successful that an additional award was customized to be presented to honor a still higher level of achievement.

Chairman's Circle of Excellence (detail)

In 1999 Club Corp contacted MK Shannon wanting a substantial award to be presented to properties that have achieved and met membership qualification for their Circle of Excellence. They also wanted to have something smaller to give to the staff of the entire club that reached the membership qualifications. MK created an award entitled "Success". This award is about 14 inches tall. MK also created a matching lapel pin to be given to the qualifying staff members. Club corp also established a Chairman's Circle of Excellence Performance Recognition program which focuses on ClubCorp's five key business initiatives. The executive committee members present the club with a framed Circle of Excellence certificate, a sculpture created and signed by the artist MK Shannon, and a custom-designed lapel pin in either silver or gold, for each Employee Partner of the team. Maintaining Gold status in the Circle of Excellence for three consecutive years qualifies a property for membership in the Chairman's Circle. MK added a one inch Cubic Zirconia to the base of the "Success" award for the Chairman's Circle Award. These awards continue to set the bar for achievement very high!

"The Gift Holding a Crystal Ball"

Inova needed awards customized to represent their mission. The awards are presented yearly to their donors. The award chosen for their event was “The Gift.” This piece was originally designed with a figure holding a crystal faceted reflective ball. Inova loved the award but wanted the figure to hold a rose in order to have it more closely represent their ideals and mission. Inova also requested that we create a caduceus. We suggested that it be held by the “Appreciation” award figure. With the use of these two different custom pieces we were able to offer awards that uniquely suit the needs of their donor program.
