Hi Tammy,
When I read about
"Criteria for the Award:
Someone qualifying for this award must meet most if not all of the following requirements:
1. Active volunteer/leader within the wheeling community who maintains a positive influence for and with others.
2. Actively involved in land maintenance and acquisition opportunities for the sport.
3. Demonstrates responsibility and leadership on and off the trails. Promotes such characteristics in other members of the community as well.
4. Promotes and generates ideas that are practical for the entire family with regards to wheeling-related events."
The name that pops into mind is Eric Weybrandt . IMHO, Eric more than qualifies in all four areas, and would like to nominate him, with my club's blessing, for candidacy.
imo, jay was bod, is no longer bod at the time of nominations, so he would be qualified for nominationaxle wrote:this is for the past year, so Jay is not eligible, correct? if he is, then he does deserve it as well.

The Board of Directors of Northeast Jeep would like to nominate Bic White for the 2012 Shane Beard award. Bic's dedication is only shadowed by his boundless energy directed towards the progression of New England wheeling.
Bic is an active volunteer and leader with the NEA, Northeast Jeep and JonFund. Bic encourages the camaraderie between clubs always building bridges vs. building walls.
Bic is actively involved in land maintenance and acquisition opportunities for the sport. He works tirelessly with trails as well as recruiting others to help. As a NEA delegate, he relays NEA information and activities to the NEJeep membership, promoting our participation in trail cuts and maintenance days as well as participating himself.
Bic demonstrates responsibility and leadership on and off the trails. Bic currently serves as Northeast Jeep's Treasurer and assists as the Trails co-chair. He previously served as our Trails Director and stepped up as Treasurer after a resignation. Bic is cognizant of potential impacts of wheeler actions both good and bad. One of Bic's greatest strengths is that he simply leads by example and has the courage to graciously talk to wheelers he doesn't know to show them "the way". As Trails Director, Bic established NEJeep's trails rating system and trail leader and gunner guidelines. He recognizes true leadership on the trails and actively works with members to develop those qualities.
Bic promotes and generates ideas that are practical for the entire family with regards to wheeling-related events. He takes care in planning trail related events that will serve all levels of experience. Bic is currently developing a Jeep 101 course to teach responsibility and trail safety.
In summary, from our perspective, there is no other individual that deserves the Shane Beard Award because he exceeds all of the requirements and does it all with no reward in mind other than the success and progress of wheeling in New England.
