Local Association Service Awards

The Service Award has been presented by the state (NMTA) since 2002, and it is issued to the person that each of the two local chapters (NNMTA and LVMTA) select each year.

The award represents a commitment to the NNMTA and LVMTA through consistent service over the years, not necessarily by serving on the board, but by always being available to help when called upon. Only those members who have maintained continuous membership for at least 10 years are eligible for the award. If membership lapses for even a day, the countdown starts over. Recipients are presented with their award at the annual state convention, which alternates between Reno and Las Vegas each year.

Below is a list of all past Service Award recipients:

There were three awards given in 2002, but it was soon realized that the NNMTA does not grow quickly enough to support that many awards each year, so it was changed to one award per year as of 2003.
