Just this week, the Ontario Co-operative Association’s “From Beards to Eternity” presentation took first place (presentations category) at the Co-operative Communicators Association Annual Awards Banquet in Nashville, Tennessee.
From Beards to Eternity is a lighthearted educational tool that provides an introduction to co-operatives and their colourful history.
Judges of this category commented that the overall presentation was smartly written, with relatable topics and a strong message. "The added humour throughout keeps the history lesson funny and the music analogy is a good way to use current pop culture to relate to the subject," said one judge.
Kerr Smith, award-winning education manager with On Co-op and creater of the presentation, has travelled across the province to share the 90-minute presentation with various groups. His next presentation (via webinar) will take place on July 17, as part of On Co-ops 2013-2014 Speakers’ Series.
