Below are the lists of various affiliate award winners as requested by Daniel Garcia. As far as the tenBroek and Jernigan Awards are concerned I believe  the lists to be complete. If anyone has additions to make please send them to me or Sheliaa\ so we can update the list and get them loaded to data retention.

Jernigan Award Winners

The Jernigan Award has been presented to a blind member of the NFB of Missouri for exceptional long term service to blind persons of the state. It is only presented when a suitable recipient is determined  to deserve our highest honor; therefore as of 2015 the award has been presented 38 times out of a possible 53 years.
