Getting Started

Leading the Way

The starting point for any worthwhile endeavor is always the inspired individual.  This person has discovered the Avenue of Honor program and wants to see one established in their local community.  This vision is shared with leading Service Organizations in the community along with some strong encouragement to move forward.  After due consideration, a local Service Organization will decide to take the lead and adopt the Avenue of Honor program.

This Lead Organization coordinates with other local Service Organizations by forming the Circle of Honor, and requests an application packet to host an Avenue of Honor from AH HomeTown Partners.  This can be done through direct mail or here on the web site.  The packet will include:

• A Welcome letter
• The Licensing agreement
• The Policy guidelines
• The Benefits statement
• This History of the Avenue of Honor organization
• A Guide to the Avenue of Honor website
• AH HomeTown Partners Contact information
• The Administrative Guide

The members of the Circle of Honor will read and evaluate the information provided.  They will complete the administrative forms and agreements and return the application fees.  As soon as the application has been approved by AH HomeTown Partners, an official certificate of acceptance will be sent to the Business Contact.  The Service Organizations are now free to launch the program.

Using the tools provided through the program, the Circle of Honor quickly and easily establish an Avenue of Honor in their community.
