OVR Meritorious Service Awards

2008 OVR Service Award Nominations Being Accepted

The Board of Directors of the Ohio Valley Region has established three awards that are presented annually to individuals who exemplify dedication and support of the growth of volleyball in the Ohio Valley Region.

In 2001, the Glenn Purdy Meritorious Service Award for Referees and Scorekeepers was established and given to its namesake, Glenn Purdy, in recognition of his 50 years of service to the sport of volleyball and officiating.

In 2002, the process was expanded to include two additional awards, the OVR Award Of Excellence For OVR Coaches, Club Directors, and Tournament Directors, and the OVR Commissioner's Award For OVR Players, Referees, Scorekeepers, and Administrators.

The criteria for each award are listed, and nominations for these awards are being sought. The nomination process is open, and nominations will be accepted until June 15, 2008. The awards will be presented at the August Meeting of the Ohio Valley Region Board. To nominate an individual or individuals, please use this nomination form.

Michelle Hills (chair), Emi Vishoot, Steve Donahue, Don Burroughs, and Patty Salvatore serve on the OVR awards committee.
