PGICA RECOGNITION PROGRAM Ed Zapke, ezapke@comcast.net

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final boarding call for flight
………………” We have all heard this announcement at some
point in our lives. Hopefully, when you heard it, you were buckled
into your seat, your bags were stored overhead, and you had
already begun to close your eyes. If this is you, then you have
already thought long and hard about nominating some deserving
individual to be recognized by PGICA for their contributions to
our community, filed your paperwork, and returned the necessary
information to the PGICA Center.

Or are you still running through the terminal, hoping to get to the
gate before it closes? The deadline for filing nominations is
Monday, October 2. This is an absolute deadline. Nominations
received after this date will be considered for the following year.
Due to a varied delivery schedule for receiving the Commentator,
some of you will not read this until after the deadline. If you have
spent the time nominating someone but will most likely miss the
deadline, please file the forms even though they are late. Your nominee will receive full consideration next year.

The Recognition Committee knows there are deserving people out there who have not been nominated. If you have not
taken the time to recognize their efforts on behalf of our community, you have missed the plane. Our next available flight
will be in approximately twelve months.

At this time I would like to thank those who have completed nominating forms for the Class of 2017. Your time and
consideration have helped PGICA in their effort to recognize those who have made a difference. Now sit back, relax, and
enjoy the upcoming season.
