Hello Prospective Bidder,

I hope this bidding guide will serve to provide you an easily accessible and aneasily understandable guide of what to write and put into your bids. At the CAACURHRegional Conference, you can bid for any of the three of the more prestigious awards.

We have seen all the amazing bids and bidding presentations at the CAACURHRegional Conference, bids that definitely gave NCCs more insight on new programminginitiatives ranging from social programming to leadership training programming. Theschools that have bid have contributed to the sharing of the wealth of information thatwill be beneficial to all of the affiliated schools at CAACURH.

At No-Frills, the awards will be focused in four areas: School Awards, Individual

Awards, NRHH Awards, and Continued Service Awards. During this time, we focus ongiving recognition to schools, groups, or individuals that have contributed to their on-campus residential life.

One of the greatest attributes of bidding is that schools share a wealth ofinformation of different programs and ideas that can better other schools. Whilebidding can get competitive, especially with an aim to win, bidding bestows a highhonor that your program and school are recognized and put into the regions spotlightregardless of the result. All bids will be shared in a database that will not only serve asan example how to bid but a database to what programs and ideas that will benefit yourRHA. As a result, writing a bid contributes to bettering the region as a whole!

I encourage you all to bid. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. If youhave further questions, please e-mail me at [email protected] .

Sincerely,

Steven H. Le

Regional Communications Coordinatorfor Bidding 2010-2011
