16. BEEyond Awards Recognition is not limited to receiving an award.
Recognition should be year long and may involve more than just a medal.
Recognition should come from the heart!
You do not necessarily need an award to be recognized! Let everything come from the heart. Do not do something only because you know you ill receive a reward for it.

17. As a Key Clubber
Each of your actions should positively influence others
Whether you are a member or leader in this organization, every single thing YOU do for Key Club is IMPORTANT!
YOU are an inspiration to someone
YOU are someone’s friend and support
The service you do makes the works a better place
An officer position does not determine your worth but rather your ability to act as a leader. Your actions will define you because EVERYTHING you do is important!

18. As a Recognizer
Both giving and receiving recognition are positive experiences!
Reaching out on a personal level
As simple as saying “Good luck!” or “Thank you!
The little things matter
Remember:
Members make Key Club what it is today, so take time to appreciate them!
Appreciating someone is what really keeps them going, knowing that what they do helps others and that others are grateful for their help will allow others to feel happy about what they are doing and allows them to continue doing so.
