Distinguished Administrator

The A. Doug Wasson Distinguished District Administrator Award was designed to recognize District Administrators who go above and beyond serving the Circle K International District Board of Officers by encouraging change, fostering growth, and being a source of support throughout the term. 


GENERAL GUIDELINES

  • An evaluation will be made on the basis of the criteria set forth. This is not a contest between Administrators but a recognition of an individual's performance.
  • In order to be eligible for this award, the nominee must have complied with all aspects of the Circle K International Bylaws, Policy Code, and respective District Bylaws, Policy Codes, and Operating Procedures.
  • All nominees must be in "Good Standing" status by completing the following:
    • Background check up to date
    • (6) Praesidium abuse prevention courses completed
  • Out of 100 possible points, the nominee must accumulate at least 90 points (90%). Applicants can make up no more than 10 “extra credit” points from missed criteria from Sections 1-6 in the Above & Beyond Section.
  • Supplements submitted cannot exceed one hundred (100) pages in total.
  • Acceptable forms of communication include emails, instant messages (including Facebook, Slack, etc.), newsletters, phone conversations, or written correspondence.
  • If you would like special consideration for any criteria due to circumstances beyond your control, please include a letter of explanation in the appropriate response field in the Above & Beyond Section.
  • All applications must be submitted online by the deadline. No late submissions will be considered.


Those who score 90 or more out of 100 possible points will be honored as a Distinguished District Administrator and receive a certificate to commemorate the award. Last year, the Circle K International Board introduced Distinguished with Honors status. The top 25% of applicants (rounding up to the nearest whole number) for Distinguished District Administrator with the highest scores with a maximum of 5, whichever is lower, will receive Distinguished District Administrator with Honors and receive a decorative award at International Convention.
