    In my Drive to inspire Clubs in North Texas
    To nominate someone from their community
    for one of the many ARRL National awards

    I will show case a few stats
    of a recent nominee that won an award

    The 2021 ARRL Herb S. Brier Award for Instructor of The Year was given
    for the following specifics achievements

    An ARRL Member for nearly 40 years, and an ARRL Registered Instructor
    and a full-time faculty member at a Community College , where he’s
    been the lead licensing course instructor for the past 11 years

    ARRL sponsors this award in conjunction with the Lake County Indiana
    Amateur Radio Club in Brier’s memory to recognize superior Amateur
    Radio instruction and recruitment.

    Club Officers and members, please step up and build a nominating
    committee
    to find such deserving amateurs within North Texas

    There are Ten annual awards provided
    North Texans deserve at least one National Award every year

    Details on awards are here……
    http://www.arrl.org/arrl-award-nominations

    My bet is if the club members spent 20 minutes they could find someone in the Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
    worthy of being nominated for at least one of the awards listed in the link above

    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
