​

Douglas Anthony Douglas - SS Bennu - With all that Anthony does, the chapter would be MUCH less than it is now. He is always helping as well as spearheading a lot of the projects we do. He was instrumental in getting our Mission of Hope project going this year but helped on the food bank drive, and delivered the food as well as helping with the funds drive for Children's Hospital. (202102.17)

​

Fred Parsons - SS Bennu - Fred has been XO for so many years, he is the right hand man and he is our walking talking rules robot, when we need to know it he has it. Also, every project we have he is right in the middle of it, helping even funding it if necessary to save us up front money. He was and is instrumental in building our ship standards, helping with our bylaws etc. He leads by example, he would not ask any crew member to do what he would not do. (202102.17)

​

Colonel Jason Garrett - USS Aequitas - Colonel Garrett stepped into a role that he honestly wasn't expecting to fill. The death of a member of SFI is already hard on friends and crew, but to rise to the moment and take over the process of commissioning a ship while going through it all is a true test of character and strength. I don't know what award would honestly convey the level of respect I have for Colonel Garrett, while still managing to posts regular with his crew, submit his reports in a timely manner and above all just be an outstanding member of this region. (202201.17)

​

Naomi Durrall - USS Aries - For her services for many years onboard the Aries as Communications officer and for her role as assistant DJ at the R1 summit earlier this year (202203.12)

​

Melinda Coates - USS Columbus - Melinda has been a driving force in the fandom community around the Columbus area for many many years (and hopefully will continue to be so). She takes on any task with an extreme amount of gusto and does so without the desire to be recognized.  But what gets me the most and the reason for this recommendation is her willingness to open her home to any member of the Fleet or fandom in general over the holidays so that no one in our sci-fi community has to sit at home alone during these festive times.
