Member of the Year

May 2017 marked the 35th anniversary of the WBN Member of the Year Award. This award was created by our long-time member and Past President, Maureen Tavener, to honour one of our outstanding members.

Each April, WBN members have the opportunity to vote online by secret ballot to select the peer who to them embodies the spirit of the membership. It's an opportunity to publicly recognize one of our members for the WBN Member of the Year. Every member, except the current President, is eligible for the award.

Once the voting period closes, the votes are tallied  and the award is then presented to the very deserving recipient at the May general meeting.

In April, when the voting opens, members can log in to register their vote.
