Presidential Service Award
Here it is! The complete list of West Houston RWA President’s Award recipients. This award for volunteer service to the WHRWA chapter was begun in 1991, when Vikk Simmons had one of her many brilliant ideas. Through the years many people have served this chapter, making it a successful long-standing unit within the writing community. The President’s Service Award was created to honor these members’ dedication and worthwhile contributions to West Houston RWA.
The president is ineligible for this award, but each and every other member of the chapter can be recognized. Nominations for the award come from the general membership. The nominations can be in the form of an e-mail or a letter, sent only to the president. Nominations will remain secret, but those supporting the winner may be read at the time of the announcement and may be published in the newsletter and on the website.
Although the President makes this final choice, this award is up to our chapter members. Be sure to forward your nomination for the current year’s recipient to the chapter president no later than October 20th, as this prestigious chapter service award is presented at the November meeting.
