District Governor Deb Cheney is calling for nominations for awards to be presented at 2018 District Conference. While certain awards are awarded solely by the district governor, others are forwarded on to Rotary International for additional consideration. District Awards and Rotary International award nominees will be recognized at the 2018 District Conference. These awards include:
- Club Builder Award honors deserving Rotarians in District 6600 who have significantly supported and strengthened their Rotary Clubs. Winners must have recruited at least five members who are active Rotarians at the time of nomination, participated in Rotary training in their club, participated in at least one meaningful club-level vocational service project, and attended at least two district meetings in the three years immediately preceding nomination. Up to 10 may be awarded each year.
- Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service to honor members who have been actively involved in service activities related to The Rotary Foundation, such as serving on a Foundation committee, participating in a grant-funded project, or supporting a Rotary Peace Fellow for longer than one year. Financial contributions to the Foundation, however notable, are not relevant considerations for this award. One is awarded each year.
- Rotary Foundation Distinguished Service Award is the Foundation’s highest service recognition and is given to Rotarians who have demonstrated exemplary service to the Foundation. Recipients must have received the Citation for Meritorious Service at least four years prior to be eligible for this award. One is awarded each year.
- Rotary Foundation District Service Award is given to Rotarians who have demonstrated exemplary service to the Foundation. Up to 20 may be awarded by the District Governor.
- Significant Achievement Award recognizes a club in our district whose local project has addressed a significant problem or need in your community. International projects are not eligible. One club per district will be recognized each year.
