How Sidekick Salutes are Chosen Each Week

Our initial plan was to run one article each week in the order they were submitted. However, there are some issues with this selection process. See below for how Stacie has tweaked how she chooses which stories to run.

Initially:
1.) Stacie initially chose to run only one salute each week so the column could be ran consistently. She feared we might run out of nominations as submissions ranged from 0-5 each week. On average, it is usually 1-2 nominations per week.

2.) Some nominations contained a specific and recent accomplishment. Stacie felt like it wouldn't mean as much if it wasn't featured in a timely manner.

To address these two issues, Stacie has tweaked her system in the following ways:

1.) Run one or two Sidekick Salute articles depending on the number of submissions we have remaining. For now, Stacie will select two until we get somewhat caught up.

2.)Stacie will select one submission that includes a specific accomplishment (if any). This way the individual is recognized in a timely manner. Stacie will then select another nomination that recognizes the general work/qualities of an individual based off the order of submission.

Hopefully, this selection process works out better. If you have any suggestions or thoughts, please feel free to share with Stacie.

As a reminder, you can nominator other CCFLers through the Weekly Schedule Form or this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14lVOK3POA2E8sA2O8D3CkOL-Ap-hwunYFPm5uRVnpY0/edit#responses
