Lifetime Achievement Award
In the membership meeting at Autumn Oaks in 2002, a suggestion was made to create an award to recognize and honor members of the United English Breeders and Fanciers Association. The officers and board immediately adopted this idea and proceeded to create the Lifetime Achievement Award.
For the first three years, beginning in 2003, the board will select three members to receive the award. After the first three years, the membership will nominate and elect two individuals to receive the award each year. Beginning in 2018 the membership will nominate and elect one member to receive the award each year.
The award should recognize a member that has made a significant contribution to the breed and/or the association. All recipients must be at least 62 years of age.
