[NFBMO] Kenneth Jernigan Award Nomination's

[CKTisdal]

It is that time of the year again!  Anxiously awaiting for Spring to get
here, the surprise of something new coming along, and our NFB of Missouri
annual State Convention!! 

   

Do you know someone who is visually impaired in the National Federation of
the Blind of Missouri who has done outstanding work for an extended period
of time for the Federation and the blind community? If so, you might want to
nominate them for the Kenneth Jernigan Award.

This award is not an annual award and is presented only as often as there is
a candidate deserving of the highest honor with which we have to present to
our colleagues in the Federation.  This is an award presented to a single
individual who is in the Missouri Affiliate as well as a resident of our
great state.

The guidelines to follow are below. Please submit a written  nomination by
email to:    

Christopher Tisdal: Committee Chair

6.1 The Jernigan Award is presented by the Missouri Affiliate of the
National Federation of the Blind to a Federationist who has performed
outstanding service to his fellow blind over a prolonged period of time. A
