Nominations Sought For Bob Everidge Lifetime Achievement Award
August 6, 2004 – NTA is currently accepting nominations for the Bob Everidge Lifetime Achievement Award, an award that recognizes individuals who have made outstanding, ongoing contributions to NTA and its members.

The award, which is presented at NTA’s Annual Convention, was first given last year during the 2003 Convention, to Lois Anderson, originator and president of Gadabout Tours in Palm Springs, Calif.

The NTA Board of Directors established the award in 2003 to honor the late Everidge, owner and president of Shenandoah Tours Inc., in Staunton, Va., and his lifetime commitment to NTA. Everidge, who died in 2001, served as president of the association in 1996.

Any person employed by an NTA member company is eligible to make a nomination, which, at minimum, should include a brief narrative (approximately 250 words) about the nominee. Additional material may be included with the narrative.

Nomination criteria:

• Display active dedication to the mission of NTA and the best interests of its members
• Extensive volunteer contributions to NTA and its members
• Consistently conducted himself/herself in a manner in keeping with the ethics, quality and sense of community espoused by NTA
• Travel industry involvement beyond NTA that has served to further the interest of NTA and its members

Nominations for the award are due by Sept. 3 and should be submitted to Christy Stigall at Christy.stigall@ntastaff.com.
