In 2007 the NCA Board established a new award, NCA Member of the Year, to be given to the NCA member who, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, has made an outstanding contribution to the NCA in that club year. This award, unlike the Isabel Kurth Award or Sam Butler Good Sportsmanship Award, does not necessarily honor long-term contribution to the club. Instead, it recognizes that members - old and young, new and long-standing, may step forward to make extraordinary contributions in a broad spectrum of ways to help the NCA.
