Hey Everyone,

Each year NSPN presents two awards to members to recognize those who have significantly contributed to the club over the past year. A third award is presented to the paddler who has significantly improved his or her  paddling skills during the 2015 season. It's now time to nominate those who you think most deserve to be recognized. Only NSPN  members may nominate or be nominated for these awards.

The awards are as follows:

FOUNDERS AWARD:

“The Founders Award is given to the person deemed by the members of the club to have done the most to keep the NSPN spirit alive by giving of themselves to better the club, in ways that may not always be visible."

Any paid member can nominate and the selection is made by the Board of Directors.
