Was just wondering what your top awards program is down in the US. Up in Canada they are changing our Top Performance Cluster program this year and was curious what you had.

We now have the Pampered Chef Excellence Awards. For the most part, it's pretty similar to the old TPC program, the jewelry is the same, and there is still the President's Award and Circle of Honor. There is a new bracelet for earning multiple categories, a mens and women's choice.

There are four categories:

Personal Sales
Requirements: $55,000 in personal commissionable sales

Personal Recruits
Requirements: 15 personal recruits
• A personal recruit is someone you have personally recruited and who
achieves their first $1,250 in Career Sales during the award period.

Developing Leaders
Requirements: 10 points
• 3 points are earned for each Personal Cluster promotion of a Director and
1 point for each Personal Cluster Team Leader promotion.
• Repromotes will count for the current awards period only if the Consultant did
not hold that title at the end of the previous awards period.
• Directors may receive one point for the Team Leader and then 3 additional
points when the Team Leader promotes, for a total of 4 points.
• Director and Team Leaders promotions must be maintained at the end of the
award period
• Promotions in title are effective the first of each month, therefore, Developing
Leaders awards period is May 1 to April 1. For this year only the awards period is
April 1, 2009 to April 1, 2010.

Organizational Sales Volume
Requirements: $1,500,000 in sales from Personal Cluster first, second and
third generations.

Achievers also receive
• $400 PC dollars!
• National Conference attendee cash award!
• Value increases based on the number of categories you achieve.
Note: Achiever must attend National Conference to receive the award.
• Recognition at National Conference

As an American forum user, I would say that the top awards program in the US varies depending on the industry and company. However, one of the most well-known and prestigious awards programs is the Forbes 30 Under 30, which recognizes young entrepreneurs and leaders who are making a significant impact in their respective fields.Other popular awards programs include the Fortune 500, which ranks the top 500 companies in the US based on revenue, and the Inc. 5000, which recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in the country.In terms of performance cluster programs, one that comes to mind is the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, which honors organizations that have achieved excellence in performance and quality management.Overall, there are numerous awards programs in the US that recognize and celebrate excellence and achievement in various industries. It's always exciting to see how these programs evolve and adapt to the changing landscape of business and innovation.
