Paraplanner PowWow Awards and Provider Due Dilligence

Hey All,
How do those two subjects even mix i here you ask?
I was thinking ( I do that once in a while) whether we as a group of paraplanners, might be interested in having some sort of Paraplanner PowWow awards for providers and alike?
Being paraplanners, I know what you are all thinking, we are limited on time and how will it help us? Well my thoughts were that if we were to run some sort of survey, through a survey company or I am sure that Richard has some whizzy software somewhere, we could log the data and use it to produce a report that not only could we use to support our provider due dilligence.
I think it could be a great way of colleactively telling providers whether they are doing a good job or not, who knows it could even get big enough for us to host some sort of balck tie award cermony just for paraplanners. (Side thought we could fund some of the award cermony through the sale of the data collected).
As I say, just a Friday afternoon thought and I am sure that many other ideas could stem from it.
If you think i'm crazy, just repond, "you are Crazy" if you think we are on to something, tell us and I am sure that Big Chief Richard can help us to get this thing off of the ground!!!

Really like the idea, I'm sure it could be done through the PowWow software.
Could have the standard award areas but also some more paraplanner specific ones, some ideas below:
It probably says more about our expectations of providers if we are considering giving awards and kudos to those who do what they are supposed to do in a timely and efficient fashion, because we are so used to them to being slow, inefficient, unresponsive and generally a bit rubbish!
I agree we should totally hold them to account if the service the give is poor and has a detrimental effect for a client but not just for doing what they're supposed to!
Also, is there a danger of award fatigue? Everyone seems to be giving awards now, I can hardly keep up!!
Get me, aren't I getting a bit vocal on stuff this week!!
Paraplanner. F1, Apple, Nutella, ice cream. No trite motivational quotes. Turning a bit northern.
