Western Region Merit Award Nominations

You know that special person who attends many events, is always helping, helping behind the scenes, encouraging people and keeping events running smoothly?    Consider nominating them for

The Western Region Merit Award (Formerly The Rich Slingerland Memorial Award)

Every year since 1975 the Western Region has recognized a member or official who epitomized friendship and dedication with integrity AND might go unnoticed.   The first award was presented at the US National tournament and is now one of the Western Region’s most prestigious honors.

Please send an email to Sue Pickrell <sue.pickrell@comcast.net> containing:

  • Nominees name
  • Nominees email address/phone
  • A brief note about what makes them deserving of the award
  • YOUR name, email and phone

The winner will be decided by a vote of previous recipients and presented at Western Regionals during the general membership meeting.

Thank you for helping to honor a deserving member.

NOMINATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY JUNE 30, 2026.
