Anyone can submit names with a brief Bio on potential recipient to the District Governor for consideration for this award. The District Governor needs all submissions by March 1st to prepare and select the recipients.

SD10 Ralph M. Sheehan Award
It is the time of the year to look over the members of your club and nominate one who truly lives the motto of Lionism, “WE SERVE” for the Ralph M. Sheehan Service Award. This is the most prestigious and highest service award that Single District 10 presents.

Every Lion should carefully evaluated their fellow Lions and present their nominations/recommendations to their Club Presidents or Club Secretaries for submission to the Ralph Sheehan Selection Committee. Do not take this responsibility lightly, it is our Districts highest award and it should be given to a Lion who in all honesty represents the highest devotion to Lionism. Please keep the name of your nominee and the information submitted confidential.
 
Candidates who have been nominated will be considered for a five year period. If your club has submitted the name of a candidate within the past four years, that candidate will be reconsidered again this year. After five years, if the candidate has not been selected for the award, his or her name is removed from further consideration.
 

The nomination form is a listing of accomplishments of the nominees. Letters of nomination will not be read. Only lists of achievements and accomplishments will be presented to the selection committee. Please keep the name of your nominee and the information submitted confidential. All completed forms must be returned to the Ralph Sheehan Chairperson, postmarked no later than March 15.

The awardee will be announced at the Governor’s Banquet (Saturday evening) at the Single District 10 Convention.
