2007 ARRL Award Nominations are Open
Posted by af6aq on March 3rd, 2008
Each year the ARRL Board of Directors has the opportunity to select recipients for a number of awards in various categories that honor Amateur Radio operators.
The nomination period is now open for the 2007 ARRL awards that are designed to recognize educational pursuits in Amateur Radio and honor a young Amateur Radio operator. Suggestions on who to honor and supporting information, including the endorsement of ARRL affiliated clubs and elected or appointed League officials, should be submitted to your respective Section Manager (see page 16). Section Managers, in turn, then make the formal nominations by forwarding the information to ARRL Headquarters. Nominations are due by March 31, 2008.
The Hiram Percy Maxim Award is for a licensed radio amateur under age 21 whose accomplishments and contributions are of the most exemplary nature within the framework of Amateur Radio activities.
The ARRL Herb S. Brier Instructor of the Year Award goes to a volunteer Amateur Radio instructor, and the ARRL Professional Educator of the Year Award is given to a professional teacher who has incorporated Amateur Radio into his or her class curriculum. The ARRL Professional Instructor of the Year Award is presented to a paid, non state-certified ham radio instructor – such as those teaching classes offered through adult education programs.
The ARRL Excellence in Recruiting Award honors a ham radio operator who exemplifies outstanding recruiting enthusiasm and technique and has gone the extra mile to introduce other to Amateur Radio.
