We encourage every club to nominate someone for each award. The committee will accept nominations until June 1. Nominations will be reviewed by the committee and the honorees will be recognized at the banquet. Please participate. This is your opportunity to recognize your fellow fanciers and co-workers for the Region

SPIRIT OF THE GREAT LAKES AWARD Purpose: To acknowledge the person that has contributed to the region and CFA. While it is clear that the CFA judges are ambassadors for the organization, this award should be for non-judges. This is meant to recognize an exhibitor/ breeder for devoted service. CRITERIA: 1. long standing affiliation with the region; 2. support for the region and CFA in terms of work, sportsmanship and promotion.

CLERK OF THE YEAR AWARD Purpose: 1. To acknowledge, on an annual basis, the hard work and dedication of the CFA Clerks of Region 4 2. To encourage participation in the CFA Clerking Program 3. To foster good will among fellow clerks, exhibitors and judges, as well as the public attending our shows CRITERIA: Anyone who participates as a clerk in the CFA Clerking Program (with the exception of CFA judges) and who resides in Region 4 after February 1 is eligible. The ideal candidate is someone who performs the art of clerking in a proficient, low-profile manner. This person should be flexible and work well with all show personnel, while accommodating exhibitor requests and spectator questions. We are looking for the individual that exhibitors and show personnel look forward to and enjoy working with. A positive attitude is a must!
