STIMULATING NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2014 AWARD ACTION: No woman has previously received the Honorary Member Award, and it would be fitting to generate some solid nominations with a woman as the candidate. The committee will continue to work on additional nominations via email to make sure that we can stimulate additional nominations for strong candidates with this in mind.
