Many of us know professionals in the collegiate recreation field who have demonstrated an outstanding capacity for innovation, who consistently go above and beyond in their volunteer service to NIRSA, and who have made significant contributions to the advancement of the profession in their respective states and regions.

These individuals both propel our Association forward—helping us reach our loftier goals—and maintain a local focus, ensuring the unique member voices of their regions are heard. This is your chance to honor the exceptional efforts these individuals make on behalf of their regions—nominate a NIRSA colleague for a NIRSA Regional Award of Merit!

Regional Awards of Merit recognize a NIRSA professional from each region who demonstrates exceptional performance or dedication to NIRSA or the field of collegiate recreation.

Your nomination will let these individuals know their work is valued and seen as a measure for excellence in professional achievement. Award recipients will be honored at the 2015 Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Expo in Grapevine, TX from March 30–April 2, as well as celebrated on the NIRSA website.

Take advantage of this opportunity to celebrate the achievements and efforts of your colleagues, and complete the brief nomination form by December 15!
