The YMCA Man of the Year banquet is held annually, in the first week of December. This is an outstanding way for you to learn how many caring adults make opportunities available to youth.
Each Y club/program is asked to select 2 representatives (who will become your Master Committee Member) from their group to interview your candidate and present them at the committee meetings held on Thursday Evenings and one Sunday afternoon. The committee helps select the winning nominee.
Following is a list of suggested sources that your club/program can find a nominee. Your group’s nominee does not have to come from this list.
The criteria for the selection are as follows:
- Face to face work with youth.
- YMCA Board and Committee work.
- Originality of his/her services.
- Service recognized by adults.
- Relationship to his/her job.
- Church leadership.
**A nominee whose profession is working with youth is ineligible unless he/she has done something extraordinary, over and above job.
Nominees must be approved (so that no 2 groups select the same person). Nominee approval begins at 6:00 p.m. on October 3 at the Britton YMCA. No nominees will be selected before this date. Please have 3 people (in order) in case another group has selected the same person. You will have immediate approval of your nominee at that time. Please do NOT contact your nominee with out getting this approval! There will also be an orientation describing the process of interviewing the nominee and presenting at the Master Committee Meetings.
After your nominee has been approved you can begin the interview process. You should interview the nominee and try to find things that will meet the six (6) selection criteria listed above. Once the interview has been completed, please submit your nominee's information here.
