Minimium Nominee Criteria
The Outstanding Organizational Leader Award is presented to an exceptional individual who has made notable contributions to an organization that have resulted in membership growth, positive financial development, or increased community awareness and integration. This individual is also a proven leader outside their organization demonstrating the ability to work across traditional boundaries to advance community and social causes.
The recipient should create long term sustainable change or show a longstanding commitment to their organization. The recipient of this award is a true champion for community sailing as ambassador, advocate, fundraiser, and leader, and serving as the “face” for their organization. While the winner of this award may wear multiple hats, it is expected that they will predominantly hold an administrative position, such as a board member, trustee or executive director.
