NFCA Opens Call for Nominations for 2006 Fraternalist of the Year

12/19/05

All member-societies eligible to submit a nominee by July 1 postmark deadline

All member-society CEOs, secretaries and fraternal directors were sent the nomination packet of materials for the 2006 NFCA Fraternalist of the Year Award. Award recipients have been rookies and veterans, from small, medium and large societies and from all corners of America. Every entrant has an equal opportunity to win and every member-society has at least one outstanding candidate to be recognized.

The 2006 program focus will once again be on recent activities, which puts all participants, both young and seasoned, on a level playing field. The entry form reflects the program's title, "Fraternalist of the Year," and only activities of the nominees within the past 12-month period will be considered. You are encouraged to consider all members. Prior nominees who have not yet won the NFCA award may be resubmitted if you so choose. A new panel of independent judges is selected each year to provide a fresh view of all nominees.

All nomination forms must be postmarked by July 1, 2006.
