Are long-standing members more likely to receive the Blue Jacket of the Year than newer members?

The award for Blue Jacket of the Year emphasizes the impact and contributions an individual has made to the organization rather than solely depending on the duration of their membership. This approach ensures that all members, regardless of their tenure, are evaluated based on their active involvement, initiatives, and the significance of their contributions to the community or organization. Therefore, newer members who display exceptional aptitude and commitment can be recognized for their achievements just as much as long-standing members, thereby promoting a culture that values merit and engagement over length of service. This focus on tangible contributions helps foster an inclusive environment where all members are encouraged to participate and make a difference.
