What type of member is usually selected for the Blue Jacket of the Year award?

The Blue Jacket of the Year award is typically designated for an active member who has made significant contributions to the organization. This designation ensures that the award honors those who are currently engaged in the organization’s mission and activities, reflecting a commitment to ongoing participation and impact. Recognizing active members emphasizes the importance of current involvement and the fresh ideas and energy they bring to the organization.

While retired members, those in administrative positions, or members with diplomatic connections may certainly contribute to the organization, the focus of this award is specifically on the proactive efforts of individuals who are presently active and making notable advancements within the group. This aligns with the core values of engagement and contribution that the Blue Jacket of the Year award aims to celebrate.
