Guest post from Annette Smith, Roy Proctor Award Selection Committee
The Roy Proctor Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to an
Optimist or Optimists for lifetime service to the Pacific Northwest
District. This award recognizes
individuals who have given outstanding and ongoing service to the
District. It is not intended for the
hundreds of outstanding Optimists who serve their clubs and communities but do
not participate at the district level. The
award is intended to honour a living individual, or individuals, rather than to
be a memorial award.
Award recipients must meet all three of the following
criteria:
1. Having given at least 10 years
of service to the District, which does NOT need to include having served as a
district officer; AND
2. Having built a new club or having
consistently brought in new members over his Optimist career or having served
as District Foundation Representative; AND
3. Having provided inspiration and motivation to fellow
Optimists.
A selection committee comprised of previous Roy Proctor
Award winners meets annually at the Third Quarter District Meeting to choose
the recipient(s), whose award(s) will be presented at the District Convention. The selection committee chooses from nominees
submitted by Pacific Northwest District Optimists.
Nominations for the Roy Proctor Award are now open. All nominations must be received by May 1,
2012. Send written
nominations describing how the nominee meets the foregoing criteria to Annette
Smith (annettesmith@shaw.ca) on or
before May 1.
