Years of Service Awards

Do any of your associations recognize officials with "Years of Service" awards? I am considering doing this in our board and would like some ideas as to what to give out as an award. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We give out plaques and gift cards on 10 yrs, 20 years and 25 years of service.

Higher gift card amount for longer YOS..

For He's A Jolly Good Fellow ...

5,10,15, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, etc., years: Awarded years of service pins purchased from International IAABO, presented at our local annual year end banquet. No speeches, just group photos. Not a big deal, some that don't attend banquet get their pins at the first business meeting the next season.

A lot of guys wear their service pins on their warmup jackets.

Twenty-five years: Plaque, and speech by the awardee at our local annual year end banquet. It's a big deal.

Fifty years: In addition to above, International IAABO presents an award (plaque and watch) at one of the twice a year conventions. Also a big deal. Especially if one likes to booze it up and play lots of golf.

Now where are my years of service pins? Probably with my missing house keys?

We do 25 year awards...a plaque and an duffel with our association logo embroidered onto it plus your name. It is presented at our banquet and a short speech is not uncommon.

Both the OhioHSAA snd the MichiganHSAA give certificates starting at 20 years. And I have received a jacket from the Trumbull Co. Bkb. Officials Assn. gave me a jacket when I hit 45 years.
