TNPPA Pin Program

A new program designed to reward participation and volunteerism annually.  This program is in addition to our degree program, and is designed after pin programs other affiliates are doing.  You earn 10 units a year; you receive a TNPPA pin at our annual award ceremony and banquet.  Speakers will receive an honorary one as well.  You must earn at least one unit in each of the three categories.  Units restart with each calendar year.  Units will be self-recorded and turned in before the awards banquet.

I would love to fill our breaks with social things,  Looking for volunteers to lead a break, maybe a tutorial, critique, game, discussion, or anything else you can think of, maybe team up with a friend and both get a unit – 1 unit

I would also love to release some short tutorials on our Facebook page.  Looking for a 30 second to 2 minute tutorial.  Something simple and small to spread a little good will in the community.  A written tutorial would also work- 1 unit

Looking for Volunteers to be available to help anyone who’s having issues with signing into our Zoom (would like to have a couple numbers available for anyone to call who is having a hard time signing into our meeting.  To get units, just need to be available for this )- 1 unit
