> Atlantic Division 2009 Awards Nominations
> -----------------------------------------
> 
> Do you know someone who has really stood out in their service to
> amateur radio? That service could be in: technical abilities; public
> service; training; education, you name it.
> 
> Wouldn't it be an honor for that individual or group to be recognized
> by their peers for their time and talents spent in good service to
> others?
> 
> Why not nominate them for one of the Atlantic Division Awards that they
> qualify for?
> 
> Atlantic Division awards are presented annually to the hams who make us
> proud to be part of the Amateur Radio Service. Nominations are taken
> from the ham community. Selection is made by an Awards Committee
> chaired by the Division Vice Director.
> 
> The awards are conferred at the annual Division Convention. Amateurs of
> any license class may be nominated for awards.
> 
> Nominations must come from within the Atlantic Division.
> The Awards Committee may, at their discretion, shift a nomination made
> in one award category to another award category, in order to honor a
> larger number of worthy nominees.
> 
> AMATEUR OF THE YEAR
> 
> The Radio Amateur in the Atlantic Division whose record merits
> recognition for outstanding contributions to the Amateur Radio Service.
> 
> 
> He or she is active on the air and in Amateur Radio organizations. The
> Amateur of the Year is an all-round Amateur, whose activities,
> attitudes, and achievements may serve as an example to others. Devotion
> to Amateur Radio is balanced with attention to work responsibilities
> and family life. The Amateur of the Year exemplifies the "Amateur's
> Code."
> 
> In selecting the award recipient, emphasis is placed on service to

> 
> KEITH FREEBURG N2BEL EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR
> 
> This award is named after Keith Freeburg N2BEL who was very involved in
> amateur radio and amateur radio training in the Western New York
> Section.  Keith had a unique ability to teach amateur radio to people
> of all ages.  He had an affinity for working with young people and was
> very involved with one of the few Radio Coaches programs.  It is very
> fitting that this award is dedicated to his memory and that the

> not pure number of people trained.
> 
> TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT

> The Radio Amateur(s) in the Atlantic Division whose technical
> excellence exemplifies "continuation of the Amateur's proven ability to
> contribute to the advancement of the radio art," and whose attitude

> continuing contributions to the Amateur Radio Service. Groups of two or
> more Amateurs may be nominated for a joint award in this category.
> Technical achievement may be demonstrated through activities such as
> the following: publications, research and development, creativity in
> hardware/firmware/software, systems design and implementation,
> technical instruction, application of advanced technology to public
