Four Weeks Remain to Submit Award Nominations

Nominations for the American Sheep Industry Association's (ASI) annual award program are due into the ASI office on or before Nov. 20, 2009.

ASI is asking for nominations of people who deserve to be acknowledged for their positive role within the industry. The awards program allows producers and industry affiliates a chance to nominate individuals they feel have benefited the industry.

Four award categories are available for nominations: McClure Silver Ram, Camptender, Environmental Stewardship and Shepherd's Award for Media.

Winners will be honored during the ASI annual convention in Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 20-23, 2010. Past award recipients are not eligible for re-nomination.
