2007
USHJA Affiliate Awards Receive a New
Name
The USHJA Affiliates
Council has been working diligently in 2007 to improve current award
programs and create new ones. With the anticipation of new programs to
come the Affiliates Council decided to rename the current Affiliate Awards
Program to reflect the true intent of the program, Sportsmanship. The
Affiliate Awards Program will now be called the Affiliate
Sportsmanship Awards Program. USHJA hopes this new title
will bring more clarity to the award and distinguish it from other USHJA
Awards.
The final list of Affiliates participating
in the 2007 awards program has been posted on the website.
As of May 30, 2007 there are 56 participating Affiliate Organizations. To
see if your affiliate is participating click here . For more information
