TNOYS maintains an
annual awards program, whereby outstanding staff of member agencies are
selected and honored at the TNOYS Annual Meeting. Nominees are accepted
from the membership.
TNOYS Annual Awards
are presented annually at the TNOYS Luncheon, held in conjunction with
the TNOYS Annual Conference.
PLEASE NOTE:
After a number of years of growth of the awards program the TNOYS Board
of Directors voted to take the next step in the evolution of the awards
program, emphasizing the selectiveness of the annual awards while
keeping the integrity of total member agency participation. Effective
with the 2007 Annual Awards, member agencies may only nominate one
person per award category. Member agencies coordinate among their
departments to select the one outstanding staff member they want to
nominate for each separate award category. They may still nominate
someone for each different award category.
Deadline for 2008 Award
nominations - June 22, 2008
