Often the communities we serve, and our employers do not fully recognize the extraordinary contributions we make on their behalf. Recognition from one's peers is among the greatest compliments a person can receive.

The awards will be announced and presented at the 2025 Tri-Con to take place August 26th thru August 29th at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, MD. The nominee is not required to be present but strongly encouraged to attend and receive the recognition they so deserved. Nominations must be received by June 16, 2025, for consideration.
