Awards Program

2011 Award Winners
2010 Award Winners
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 Award Ceremony, held in conjunction with the TNOYS Annual Conference.

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.
