The Annual General Meeting of Orienteering USA will be held online Thursday night, October 21. One of the highlights of the AGM is the naming of the recipient of the Silva Award.
The Silva Award is given annually to an orienteer who has demonstrated outstanding service to orienteering in the United States over the past five years. The essential quality of every winner has been service to promoting and sustaining orienteering, to making the sport work in this country, and in helping to build the organizations needed to make orienteering successful.
The AGM will also include the announcement of the OUSA Golden Service awards recognizing those individuals who have provided exceptional service to the sport of orienteering that extends beyond the local club level.
Nominations for both awards are being solicited between now and September 26th. Full eligibility criteria and lists of past award winners can be found in the attached announcements. Nominations for both awards should be emailed to Susan DeWitt (skdewitt@nullsnet.net) by September 26th.
