Outstanding Service to the Sections!
Beginning in 2021, each Section may identify up to two (2) individuals for awards from IFT. The Section Outstanding Volunteer Award and the Section Outstanding Service Award will be similar in merit and recognition status, but based on different contributions to the field and IFT. Please read the detailed post on IFT Connect.
