The announcers, starters, secretaries, technical coordinators, facility managers and their crews, ring crews and assistants of every type, who assist in moving our sport forward are often overlooked and unacknowledged when awards are being distributed. Many of these individuals have worked in our discipline for decades, and USHJA wants to recognize their contributions through this special award.

Nominees do not need to be active members of the USHJA. This award is meant for those individuals who are currently not participating as a competitor, rider, owner, a show manager or licensee, but rather someone who provides the support that makes showing, judging and managing competitions and participating in educational events something to enjoy. Minimum qualification for a nominee is 20 years actively working in our discipline in a support role. USHJA highly suggests including letters of recommendation with award nominations.

Please submit the Vital Staff Support Award nomination form to Marla Holt by Friday, October 3, 2014 via email, or fax to (859) 258-9033.

The  Mrs. A.C.

Previous winners include Helen Lenahan, Harry Gill, and Wilhelmine Stewart Kirby Waller.
