Just Do It! Nominate a Worthy Member for an AASV Award

The AASV awards are one of the highlights when presented at the annual meeting. The meaning and impact for the award winners is immeasurable. Make sure you do your part and nominate worthy members for recognition! We all know AASV members whose dedication to the association and the swine industry are worthy of recognition. Do not assume others will come forward and nominate members if you do not step up to bring forward names for consideration. Reflect, identify, and move forward. The nomination letters do not need to be lengthy, detailed, or all inclusive. Do it now. Do not procrastinate. Do not be telling yourself in January, "I should have gotten that done." It is up to YOU!
