    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
