This award is to honour the personal commitment to a high level of learning and achievement. It is for a member who has been part
of the chorus for more than a year and who has shown their commitment to increase the quality of their personal vocal mechanism and/or
a commitment to share their knowledge with their section or the chorus at large. This commitment to learning is demonstrated by doing
such things as: attending regional or international music schools, being present for coaching sessions, seeking PVIs, or seeking outside
musical training.
The Music Team (Section Leaders, Assistant Directors and the Director) will put forth nominees for this award, and
the selection of the recipient will be made by past winners of the award.

This award is given to one special lady in our chorus annually. A member that goes above and beyond. It is someone who makes others
feel special and that is an "asset" to the chorus, not only in talent but in everything they say and do.
