## Recognition for All

* **Non-Champs**: Highly engaged community members receive alternative rewards like special swag and other perks for living the community values and getting involved as non-champions.
* **Champion but non-Investec account holders**: Still enjoy perks like swag and opportunities for visibility, but do not meet the requirements for Investec reward.
