Member of the Year
Committee Duties
The Member
of the Year Committee was originally proposed in October,
1972 by then President Art Paholke. It was originally
called the “Man of the Year” award. Monty Lutz was
appointed as the first chairman. The purpose of the
committee was to award “that AFTE member who has assisted
the association in an outstanding manner”. Also, at that
time, the final selection of the individual selected would
be decided upon by open membership vote. Somewhere along
the line, that selection process was replaced by the
committee putting forth a nominee to be voted on by the
Board of Directors, as it is today. As best can be
determined, the name change to Member of the Year came about
in 1976.
The duty of
the members of the committee is to gather information from
fellow members as to what fellow AFTE members are doing
around the association that might warrant consideration of
this award as it pertains to assisting AFTE.
Future
goals include the solicitation of help via the AFTE Journal
and Web Site to help in gathering information for making a
selection.
If you
know of an AFTE member who has been involved with or has
done exemplarily service for AFTE and should be considered
as a candidate for Member of the Year to send your
recommendations to the Chair of the Member of the Year
Committee
No
financial considerations are involved with the operation of
the committee.
