2024 Awards Forms
If you've earned 10 work credits in 2024, you are eligible for club awards!
It is the policy of FVDTC to give awards for AKC, CKC and UKC titles earned at trials, tests or shows each year. To receive a club award, you must have a total of 10 work credits for the year and be listed as a Regular Training Member in the Roster. If for some reason you have not met ALL your requirements and can justify the reason, your eligibility will be reviewed by the Board of Directors
The Volunteer Award recognizes those who volunteer their precious time to FVDTC but who are not applying for a title award during the year. To qualify for this award the member must:
- Be a member in good standing
- Earn a minimum of 10 work credits in 2024
- Earn the work credits themselves, not by family or other members.
In addition, the Compton Outstanding Service Award, and the Rookie of the Year Award acknowledge club members who consistently contributes to the club and epitomizes the true spirit of volunteerism. Nominate your choices for these awards here.
