scope:

This Marshall Work Instruction (MWI) provides instructions for requesting official Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) mementos. The Marshall Public Affairs Office (CS20) has been tasked to maintain the Center's official inventory and record of mementos given to visiting VIPs and retiring employees. It has become policy that when one of these mementos is given on behalf of the Center Director, it is the ONLY memento given on behalf of MSFC.

This MWI will also explain MSFC memento category descriptions and procedures for determining which category is appropriate.

APPLICABILITY. This MWI applies to all Marshall employees requesting mementos presented on behalf of MSFC or by the MSFC Center Director to visiting VIPs or high-level NASA or industry retirees.

This MWI does not apply or people requesting mementos given on behalf of organizations at levels lower than the Center Director and is not intended to prohibit lower-level offices, programs, and projects from giving appropriate mementos.
