MVP Distributor Award
QUESTION Please explain the timing of the MVP Award Program.
ANSWER The MVP Award application will be available in late-summer each year and is based on the previous years’ activity. In other words, requirements must have been met in the current calendar year for recognition in the next year. For example, 2024 MVP status is based on activity in 2023.
QUESTION Do I need to re-apply for the MVP Award every year?
ANSWER Yes, MVP status is awarded each year based on activity in the previous year.
2024 MVP Application - Deadline: 01/31/24QUESTION Do I need to get a letter of recommendation from my customer or can I use another letter they have written to complement our service or an employee?
ANSWER Yes – you do need a letter of recommendation for the MVP Award from a customer. Requiring a letter of recommendation from a customer helps create awareness of MHEDA among end users and allows your customer to applaud your efforts as an outstanding service provider.

ANSWER You can check any company’s membership status via the MHEDA website at www.mheda.org in the member search or call the MHEDA office at 847-680-3500.
QUESTION Who will see my application/letters of recommendation?
ANSWER Only staff sees the application and the letters of recommendation. Additionally, MHEDA will never publish the name of a customer unless we first receive written permission from the member company and the customer.
QUESTION Can I submit an accomplishment or activity that is NOT listed under one of the Five Areas of Excellence for consideration as criteria for MVP Status?
ANSWER Yes, please write a brief summary of the accomplishment or activity, including dates and which Area of Excellence you believe it fits under, and send to Kathy Cotter’s attention at MHEDA kcotter@mheda.org so that the MHEDA Membership Committee can review it.
QUESTION Please explain the “Give Back” requirement.
ANSWER MHEDA has determined that active involvement in programs and activities that give back to your community are important to your employees and your distributor partners. Your participation must be active and go beyond financial support of a cause or organization. Please see Give Back Program to see some examples.
