If you look at those stats and say to yourselfs…..

We have no one that has been a Ham for fourty plus years AND is teaching full time at a community clollege
You might be right….

However, if you look at those stats and you say hmm we have some members that have been licensed over 40 years
and they are members of several non profit community organizations
and they are a consistant face at the VE Exams

Add the details and place them in the nomination form
Email it to the league and by the way send me a copy and I will Endorse it

Now, don’t stop there….
Find at least two members worthy of nominations for one of the awards each year

Or rest on your butt and forget about having someone in your club recogized
with a National award from the ARRL
