Reminder: Nominations for Honorary Lifetime Membership
In early October I sent out an email announcing that the Executive Committee is now accepting nominations for Honorary Lifetime Memberships. This is a reminder that the deadline for nominations is November 1, 2025. For your information I have included a paragraph from the Bylaws that describes the nomination process and a list of those individuals who have received this honor. To nominate someone you may call, text, or email your choice to a member of the Executive Committee. A brief statement of why you think this person to be deserving would also be helpful. Members of the Executive Committee include David Wright, John Albachten, Kurt Foglesong, Todd Carris, and myself. Any of them will be happy to receive your nomination.
Thanks,
Jerry Warner
President

In September of each year The Executive Committee will solicit nominations from the membership at large for individuals to be considered for honorary lifetime membership. the Executive Committee will make the final decision as to who receives this honor. Generally this will result in one appointment per year. However, in exceptional cases more than one person may be so recognized in the same year. An honorary lifetime member is exempt from the payment of OVWG fees for the remainder of her/his life.
