OLRCB Person of the Year Award

This award was resumed in 2006 to recognize an outstanding OLRCB member. The time frame runs from the OLRCB State Show & Convention to the next. Any two previous winners will be appointed by the president to select a new OLRCB Person of the Year with the majority approval of OLRCB Board of Directors.

Criteria for selecting the OLRCB Person of the Year includes the following:

  1. Member of the OLRCB
  2. Willingness to be involved at the state club level
  3. Service to the membership at large
  4. Contribute toward the success of shows
  5. Contribute to youth and/or new members
  6. All around asset to OLRCB and the rabbit/cavy hobby

A few things to remember:

  • The award does not have to be awarded annually.
  • The deadline for nominations is April 1st of each year.
  • Prior to 2008, a rabbit and a cavy person were selected. In 2008 the award changed to person of the year.
