2016 Distinguished Service Awardees
It has happened only once before and this year there was a tie in the number of nominations two of our awardees received, thereby giving us the great pleasure of awarding three, rather than the normal two, Distinguished Service Awards.
As I announced the awardees last evening at the Annual Meeting Banquet, I have listed them in alphabetical order - the number of nominations each received is immaterial at this point.
Unfortunately, none of the awardees were present at the banquet, as we all would have enjoyed congratulating them and shaking their hands.
Without further a'do the Distinguished Service Awardees are below and I'm sure you all will agree they each were very deserving of the award.
We all thank each of them for their dedicated service and we thank all those who took the time to submit their nominations.
