Outstanding Student Affiliate Member and Advisor

Each year the Student Affiliate Division of ADSA seeks nominations for the Outstanding SAD member and advisor. ADSA provides a $300 cash award and plaque for the Outstanding Student Affiliate Member. The Outstanding Advisor receives a plaque. Each school is encouraged to nominate one student and one advisor. The SAD Third Vice President oversees the competitions and the SAD Second Year Advisor assists.

Student Nomination
Please use only the space provided on the Outstanding Student Affiliate Member Entry Form. See the Outstanding Student Affiliate Member Scorecard for more information. We require a written recommendation from the nominee's local dairy club advisor, a faculty member and the President of the club (If the President is nominated then the Vice President would write a letter of recommendation.) Interviews will take place at the annual meeting, so we require that the nominee attend. Nominees should also attend the student awards luncheon where the award will be presented.

Advisor Nomination
Students nominating their advisor should use the Outstanding Advisor Entry Form. We require no written recommendation, and the advisor need not be present at the meeting. A plaque will be presented during the awards luncheon. Information should be included as specified on the Outstanding Advisor Scorecard.

The selection committee for both awards will consist of three judges, preferably two faculty members and one student present at the annual meeting and representing three different chapters. We have enclosed an Outstanding Advisor scorecard. All nominations must be identified by the name of the nominee and the university making the nomination.

Please send your nominations by May 1. Please note: competition entries received after the stated deadline will be accepted, but clubs will incur a 5-point late deduction on the Outstanding Chapter Award Scorecard.
