Each year, all point totals will be calculated for all contributors.

An incentive pool will be established based on 20% of the intra-year membership fees or end-of-year renewal fees for "Emerald" and "Ruby" members.

Incentive bonuses will be calculated for each contributor based on their point total.

Diamond member firms will be eligible to receive their incentive bonus in credit. A fraction of the incentive pool will be allocated for individual prizes.
