#IAMIH Leadership Challenge
Start Date: March 5, 2017

PURPOSE of the #IAMIH Leadership Challenge
• Promote the profession
• Give back to the profession
• Build ties with AIHA national and local sections
• Get to know people
• Have fun
• WIN!
The Challenge
One great campaign or activity(ies) that
makes sense for your region
Ex: A Campaign = a variety of activities such as each
person in the group committing to 1 presentation each
Ex: An activity = a regional Safety Matters Day with press
coverage, etc.
It’s as Easy as 1-2-3
1) GET ON YOUR MARK
Pick (or volunteer to be) your regional team leader;
a background in coaching or cheerleading
is preferred, but not required .
2) GET SET
Set goals and devise a strategy on how
your region will WIN this leadership challenge (while
simultaneously raising awareness of the profession).
3) GO!
Hit the bricks when you get back home!

#IAMIH#SC
#IAMIH#NE
The ONLY way you can report your progress is to post a photo of your
outreach activity and include TWO hashtags: # IAMIH plus your region’s
hashtag as follows #IAMIH #NE, #IAMIH #NW, #IAMIH #PACIFIC, #IAMIH
#CENTRAL, #IAMIH #SC, #IAMIH #SOUTH, #IAMIH #MA, #IAMIH #MW.
BE SURE YOU USE BOTH #IAMIH AND YOUR REGION’s HASHTAG OR YOUR
REGION WILL NOT GET THE CREDIT. WE WILL ONLY COUNT THOSE WITH
BOTH HASHTAGS. Not required, but if you wish to alert AIHA of your post,
you can tag @AIHA in the body of your Tweet.

For privacy and safety issues, please do not get pictures of students
(backs of heads are OK). Take a selfie, ask someone to take your pic during
the presentation, take a pic in front of the school sign or with the school
mascot!

You have 9 whole months to canvas the country sharing all you can about
AIHA, IH/OH and Teen Safety in the Workplace.

FAQ’s
Q: What if I have no idea how to post to Twitter?
A: As long as you can take a photo at the place where you do your presentation, just
post it to your region’s volunteer site, OR, email it to your regional team leader or email
to AIHA staff ([email protected]) and we will take it from there to post it for you!
Q: What’s in it for me?
A: Besides raising public awareness about safety in the workplace for teens and help fill
the pipeline of the profession’s future, the top 3 winning regions, based on the number
of presentations you do (from the photos posted to Twitter), will be: publically
recognized and awarded a Leadership Challenge Recognition at the Mark of Excellence
breakfast during AIHce EXP 2018 in Philadelphia, PA; showcased in a feature article in a
2018 issue of The Synergist magazine; be recognized by national and regional media
outlets for your work. Oh, and you can get CE credit for your time too!
Q: Do we have to do this?
A: Of course not! But don’t you want to give back to the profession? Oh, and then
there are those bragging rights !
Q: Uh, I’ve been “voluntold” to be my region’s leader. Now what?!
A: AIHA staff will equip you with your access code to the volunteer activity tracking site
so you can help motivate your team! More on that after LW!
FAQ’s
Q: How many presentations does our group have to do to win?
A: There is no ceiling to what you can do! We encourage each region
to do at least 1 presentation per person in your region, so if your
regional group consists of 10 people, AIHA asks that you each do 1
presentation each for a total of 10 presentations before midnight on
Dec. 31, 2017.
Q: If I do one presentation to a group of 1000 and then stop, can we
get extra credit for the vaster the audience?
A: We will give you credit for 5 presentations for groups of 500+.
Q: Do I have to take just 1 photo at the location of my presentation,
or can I take more?
A: You can take as many as you want to and post them all, but we will
only give you credit for one presentation on that same date, and
location. HOWEVER, say you do 2 presentations on the same day at
the same school but to 2 different classes, you will have to note that
on your posts (i.e. #IAmIH #MA Here I am, John Doe, Mrs. Smith’s 4th
grade science class at ABC Elementary School, Fairfax; 20 kids) and if
you do a 2nd that same day: #IAMIH #MA John Doe again same day at
Ms. Jones’ 3rd grade health class. (10 kiddos).
