MHSCN Beacon Awards entry deadline extended

Due Friday, July 30.

The Minnesota Health Strategy & Communications Network (MHSCN) Marketing Committee has decided to extend the deadline for entries for the 2010 Beacon Awards.

Enter your communications, marketing, public relations, community relations, planning or health care research efforts.

  • Projects must have been completed between June 1, 2008 and June 1, 2010.
  • The cost per entry is $35.
  • Entries must be postmarked no later than Friday, July 30, 2010.

Based on your online survey feedback and combined with the work of last year’s Board, the 2010 Beacon Awards Program and conference will be held in the fall this year, instead in the summer. Winners will be recognized and their projects will be displayed at that time.

As in the past, the Beacon Awards Program is open to both MHSCN member and non-members. Projected completed on behalf of a member, such as by an ad agency, qualify as member entries. Members may submit as many entries as they wish.

Just when your marketing plan is in place and things are running smoothly – along comes a UFO! No, not the flying saucer kind, but an unforeseen occurrence that can make you feel like you’re lost in space!

The health care galaxy holds all kinds of meteoric challenges that stem from economic crisis, reform debate, new technology, consumer attitudes and behaviors, and even the way health care is packaged and delivered that have created an uncertain future for marketing and communications professionals.

But with the right tools and information – from marketing and communications to social media and leadership skills – you can dodge these obstacles and position your mothership (and yourself!) for any cosmic event that comes your way.
