“Each year SKOC presents a Member of the Year Award to a club member who has demonstrated outstanding service and/or exceptional commitment in his or her position. The Member of the Year is chosen by the club President, with input from the general membership and committee chairpersons.”
The award for the Member of the Year is the most prestigious acknowledgement that our membership can bestow on one of its own.
Congratulations Cam McPhee, 2017 Member of the Year.
As out going president of SKOC, I would like to acknowledge all the hard
working individuals of this club. We continue to put on a multitude of
events- Shows and Trials and Special Events. It is only possible because
of the strong volunteer base of this organization. All the people in this
room this evening, have volunteered, in one way or another.
With so many hard working individuals in this club, it is always difficult to
select a person for The Member of The Year Award. As I have said before,
it has always been awarded to a person that contributes their expertise
year after year. It is better defined as a “Life Time Achievement Award”!
The Member of the Year Award is awarded by the president, with input
from the membership.
The individual that is to receive this award has been:
Volunteering for All Shows and Trials,
Teaches classes on a weekly basis,
Organizes and assists with Matches
Chairs a vital part of our organization
Encourages new members into our club
This person does so with a ready smile and a quiet sense of humour.
Truly an outstanding member of SKOC!
The Member of the Year for 2017 is Cam McPhee! Congratulations from
all of us!
