Distinguished Service Award Deadline

[Bill Murphy]

I might add that there is much evidence that we should return, at least for a year or two, to the award of more than the small number of awards that we have given recently. We have so many unrecognized heroes that should be included.

Bill, I couldn't agree more with that statement but there are so few members getting involved by the simple act of nominating people that I need to bring this program to the forefront a couple of months before each and every Annual Meeting.... and worse, having to keep bringing it back TTT because "the silence is deafening."

And your first point in this post will be accepted for consideration and will be discussed among the committee.

Bill- You don't have to campaign at all. Just resubmit the names and say "see my prior nominations".
I am sure you offered good people and reasons back then.
Done.

Bill,
You are absolutely right, there are many unrecognized hero's that should be included. Part of the problem is that so many of those that worked hard to build the organization, especially in the early years are not known to many of todays members. Many of us that have not been involved from the beginning may only know what has gone on over the last few years and if long time members like yourself don't bring these names to the forefront who will? I don't think there is a problem with the way the award system is set up, I think we just need more input from our membership to help get these worthy members recognized. I would welcome your thoughts on candidates for this years selection so please feel free to pm me your list for consideration.
