In 2017, the Executive Board voted to establish an "Outstanding Member of the Year" award
in honor of long time member and friend, Frank Morris.
This award will be given at the annual meeting each year. The award will be presented to a current MJA member in good standing
who has exemplified the spirit, character, and passion that Frank Morris brought to our activity.
Nominations will be accepted from current members in good standing and the deadline for each year is December 31.
