We at NYSSA would like to give recognition to the hard-working individuals who make up your club. Our way of doing this is by offering a variety of awards. There are many clubs throughout New York State and with their volunteerism and hard work, they make snowmobiling a safe and fun sport.

Nominations may be submitted throughout the season and are due to the NYSSA office by March 1st each year.  The awards are presented at the Awards Banquet held in conjunction with the NYSSA Annual Meeting and Forum at the end of each season.

The remaining award category is the NYSSA Harold (Hal) C Fleishman Jr President’s Award.  The criterion for this award is determined by the President of NYSSA and is generally awarded to a person or persons that have greatly facilitated NYSSA Operations.

• Applications are due by March 1st.
  Awards will be presented at the NYSSA Dinner Banquet.

Below are ideas to make the Awards Applications more competitive.

•          Include bullet statements of accomplishments referenced back to the question on the form (show “supporting documentation” for the statements made. No supporting info means little in the ranking).
•          Letters of recommendation/commendation from community sources, whether state or local government, fire dept., rescue squad, business, sponsors, charities, and non-snowmobile sources (testimonials to achievements).
•          Copies of newspaper articles or other media, club newsletter articles, items that especially promote snowmobiling in your area.
•          Need to show cause and effect, like – “sponsored a charitable fundraiser and – raised X dollars”.
•          Lists of activities, whether snowmobile or non-snowmobile related, charities, donations, how do you “market” your club.
•          Relevant photos: equipment, buildings, activities.
