The award is based upon years of consistent excellence in one or more of the following areas - ATHLETICS: The person must have influenced other competitors with his or her performance through any or all of the following: high performance standards; sportsmanship and fair play; competitive techniques; persistent and inspirational leadership. CONTRIBUTOR: The person must have made a significant and noteworthy contribution, that has left a lasting, positive effect on the advancement of the sport. The person’s efforts should have been devoted to the sport and organization, not for personal or financial gain or for self-aggrandizement.
