Club Awards
Club awards are voted on annually by our members each spring to honor outstanding leaders within the club. These awards highlight individuals who actively participate in club activities, demonstrate a willingness to volunteer and contribute to club events, and consistently exhibit a positive attitude. Award recipients have dedicated significant time and energy to the Iowa State Block and Bridle Chapter, and their achievements such as scholarships, awards, extracurricular activities, positions held, and academic standing are all considered in the selection process. These awards recognize and celebrate the remarkable contributions of our members to our club community.
