The award is ENYDTCA’s way of recognizing an outstanding member that has given

exceptional service over the years to equine sports (does not have to be contiguous).   

Specifics

A panel of board members will review each nomination submitted, and decide upon one winner who will be announced at the annual banquet in November & receive a plaque.   The ENYDCTA Member of the Year Award can be awarded to one current member that is not an active board member.  Please do not hesitate to nominate yourself, there are many behind the scenes volunteers that are not in the spotlight with all they do in the equine community (let us know).  There is no obligation to make a selection of a winner in any year when there is not an appropriate candidate.   

Nominations are due no later than September 1st.
