Richard Gaudette Service Award

The Richard Gaudette Service Award was established in 2008 in honor of the NCFL's Executive Secretary and Treasurer of more than 25 years. The principle which guides this award is service.

​The individual/group nominated must be or have been a member of the NCFL who promoted service as well as "leadership through speech" at either a local, state or national level. The committee of seven which determines the award's recipient will be made up of the NCFL First Vice President and 6 others selected by the NCFL President. Nominations will be accepted until January 15, with the award/s being presented at the NCFL Grand National Tournament Award Ceremony. To submit a nomination, click here.
