REINTRODUCING THE
“ENGINEER OF FREEDOM” AWARD
How many FORR®
members do you know the really exemplify the
spirit of freedom? The member who has belonged for so
many years, no one can keep track. The member who, when
the call went out for a work session or a shift at an
event, has always been there. The member, who has held
every office in a Local and has been in one or the other
as long as anyone can remember or the member who has
jumped in there and helped to spark a Local to success,
seemingly overnight. We all know these members, we see
them every time there’s a Local or CC meeting, or we go
to an event and it’s their smiling face that greets us
and signs us in. And now there’s a way to recognize
those special members who have made up the heart and
soul of Freedom of Road Riders®,
the “Engineer of Freedom” Award.
Q. Who may receive the “Engineer of Freedom”
award?
A. Any member in good standing of Freedom of Road
Riders®.
Q. How can a member be nominated for the
“Engineer of Freedom” award?
A. Any member or Local may nominate a
member for this award. Simply write a letter to the
Central Committee Cabinet of FORR®
outlining the contributions of the nominee to the cause
of freedom and mail it or e-mail to the FORR Corporate
Secretary, Kathy Garver P.O. Box 308 Oak Grove, MO.
64075-0308 or
secretary@forr.net
Q. How are nominees selected as an
“Engineer of Freedom”?
A. The FORR®
CC Cabinet will review the nominations at the officer’s
meeting the night before each Central Committee meeting.
Only the contributions of the nominee will be
considered; the name will not be divulged to any officer
besides the Corporate Secretary. The recipient(s) will
be announced at the CC meeting the day following their
selection. Nominations for those who are not selected
will be reviewed again at the next meeting.
Q. What does the recipient get for
being selected as an “Engineer of Freedom”?
A. Recipients will receive a red,
white and blue “Engineer of Freedom” patch (which will
be one of the rarest patches around FORR®)
and their names will be listed on the roll of
“Engineers” maintained by the Central Committee and
published in the Freedom Press.
Engineers will serve FORR®
by passing on an example of the dedication that has led
FORR®
to the triumphs of the last 30 years. We owe it to those
members (you know who they are!) who have helped to make
this the biggest and best motorcyclist rights
organization in Missouri, and one of the most successful
in the nation. So, think about the special people that
YOU know, and let’s start nominating those “Engineers”
who have helped to drive this Freedom Train.
