AWARDS AND RECOGNITION
MWSOA is an association of referees serving referees. Since
we don’t always get the recognition we may deserve on the
field, the Board wanted to provide for a mechanism to
acknowledge the hard work and success of our members.
As such, the Awards and Recognition Committee was
formed to look out for individuals who get it done, game
after game, on and off the field. Annually, the committee will work to
recognize individuals with the following:
OUTSTANDING OFFICIAL AWARD
The outstanding official award will recognize an outstanding MWSOA official
who exemplifies the highest level of soccer officiating excellence at all levels.
OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTOR AWARD
The Outstanding Contributor Award will recognize a member of MWSOA who
has contributed an abundance of time and effort to enhance the betterment of
our organization, and soccer as a whole, in varied areas including refereeing,
administration, coaching, and volunteering with nonprofit organizations and
charitable causes.
HALL OF FAME
Annually, the awards/recognition committee shall recommend members to the
Executive Board, who will serve as the reviewing, selection and voting
committee of MWSOA Hall of Fame members. To be nominated, an official
must be a member of the Midwest Soccer Officials Association in good
standing, and must have 15 years total as an act ive member in MWSOA. The
candidate must have exhibited interest in, and have participated in, related
activities of MWSOA either as an officer, Trustee Board member, or a volunteer
in internal or external MWSOA activities.
