Volunteer Awards

 

Each year the Board of Directors votes on a proposed list of volunteers, to determine individuals CRW should recognize for contributions they made to the club and cycling in general. Awards and Certificates are presented to the volunteers at the annual Awards Banquet. The Awards Banquet normally takes place in November.

 

The significance of each type of award is explained in the Award Descriptions.
