What are the benefits of a digital badge?
- A web-enabled version of your achievements that can be shared online and in your email signature
- A more efficient way of posting to social media platforms
- When someone clicks on the badge, they are brought to a page that includes a description of the award, the date it was received, and an excerpt from the award nomination (if included in badge information submission in step 1 below)
How does it work?
- Volunteer/Engagement leads can submit awardee information here (the “awards” section of the HBA profile), and the badge will be automatically issued
- The recipient will receive an email inviting her/him to claim the badge
- The recipient will be directed to click the link in the email
- The recipient claims the badge and starts sharing it on the platforms of choice
