Each year the SDBA, through a selection committee, honors a person in broadcasting who has been especially active during the past year in Community Affairs. People in management are urged to enter, or enter a person on your staff. The individual chosen will be honored with a plaque at a reception during the SDBA Annual Leadership Conference.
