Milt Goldman Awards
Milt Goldman, K3WIL (1984)
Milt Goldman, K3WIL, a charter member of our Club, was perhaps the hardest working Club member we ever had. He was past president, board member, hamfest chairman, made QSL cards, badges, hats, club jacket chairman, hamfest tickets, posters, etc. He had a printing business and freely used it to help the Club, all gratis. When he retired and was about to move to Florida, the Club decided unanimously, to create an award to honor Milt, and he was the first recipient. He retired to Florida soon afterwards and became a Silent Key in December 1996.
The criteria for receiving the Award, is sustained, outstanding service to the Club over an unspecified period of time. The selection committee is composed of all past recipients of the award.
The sustained service criteria is the key to the award. Someone who has given exceptionally good service for a time period of, for example, 5 to 10 years, is considered. Having served as a Club officer (on Board of Directors) is certainly a major consideration, in addition to heading up a major committee, or committees for several years and doing an outstanding job. Solid meeting attendance and support of other projects, committees, etc. is important.
The ideal candidate is someone who can follow Milt Goldman’s track record of support. The award is not an annual award, but is given at a time when someone is nominated. The selection committee is comprised of all the living past award winners.
