At each Open Forum roughly 2-3 times per year, the MVB Working Group gathers and solicits nominations for folks who exhibit the most valued behaviors in a role model way. Anonymized nominations are submitted to one of the UITS Interns and the MVB team goes to work to determine the most commendable nominees who are presented with the coveted UITS MVB Challenge Coin. 

Winners of the April 2025 Most Valued Behaviors Challenge Coin are:
