Our North Central Section 99s awards are given each year at our annual Spring Business meeting. Chapters are encouraged to honor their most deserving members and supporters by nominating them for these awards. The nominations are submitted to the Section Directors, and in consultation with the Section Governor, they are reviewed for the final award selections. The awardees are announced at the Spring Banquet.
