- Nominees will be voted on at the Area 3 Council Meeting at the May Assembly.
- Each award will include a $500 honorarium and a Merit Award Certificate recognizing the achievements of the recipient.
- In order to create leadership opportunities and/or establish more membership benefits/retention in Area 3, award recipients will be asked to “Give Back” to Area 3and their own DBs. Award recipients will be asked to either write an article or short report on their conference attendance or if they made a presentation, they would be asked to share the presentation. Both reports and presentations could be shared with their own DB and/or other DBs in Area 3.
