Dear 7th Fleet,
The Grammys, the Golden Globes and the Oscars are memorable award shows but award season wouldn’t be complete without the R7 Awards.
Last Friday, the R7 Awards Review & Update Committee met via Zoom and our Region 7 Awards Director Keith Shikowitz will soon be sending out information to all chapter COs concerning the updates and soliciting for judges for this year’s award program. I’d like to thank Keith for his work and the committee for their input and ideas. It was a very informative and thoughtful session taking in structure of the past and applying some new ideas to freshen up the process.
As the award season will soon commence, I ask that all COs/XOs and command staff of the 7th Fleet start considering who you wish to nominate for the specific awards categories most of which go forward for consideration by the STARFLEET awards program at that level. Keith said he will be sending out that info via email to all ships very soon so watch for it.
Please pay attention to the deadlines listed as we need your participation. Watch for future posts here and on our regional listservs sending out information to all chapter COs concerning the updates and soliciting for judges for this year’s award program.
Sincerely,
Adm. Bob Vosseller
Region 7 Coordinator
CO USS Challenger NCC-1676-D
