'This award is presented in the spring of each year to a community member living in the area between Boonville in the south and Carthage in the north. The Pratt Northam Foundation offers this award in memory of Donald Exford, its first Executive Director. A financial award of $1,000, along with an appropriate symbol (certificate, statuette, etc.) of the award, is given to a person that represents the dedication to continuous community improvement over a significant period of one’s lifetime, as Donald Exford dedicated his life’s work to the communities served by the Pratt Northam Foundation. The award will be presented at an event in the recipient’s community during the Spring each year. Directors of the Foundation at a regular or special meeting held between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28 each year submit nominations for the award to the full Board of Directors. All nominations and discussion of nominations remain confidential. Only a Director of the Pratt Northam Foundation may submit a nomination. Directors consult with other people in the community to prepare a nomination. A nominee must have demonstrated commitment to improving the quality of life in the nominee’s community over a decade or more. Nominees should have demonstrated persistence in the face of adversity in attempting to meet community goals. Preferably, the nominee should have “been there” for the entire community; even though, the nominee may have shown overwhelming dedication to one community group or cause. Special consideration will be given to nominees that have served in multiple volunteer capacities. A nominee may have served the community with distinction in her/his professional capacity, in addition to one’s volunteer service. There will be no posthumous awards. The Pratt Northam Foundation Board of Directors may waive the award in any year in which they determine that there is not a qualified nominee. Members of the Pratt Northam Board of Directors and their immediate families, along with any fulltime or parttime Pratt Northam paid consultants are ineligible for consideration for the award.
