The requirements are 15 American Champions and 10 of those have to have a second title such as AOE, FV, MV, GV,GVX,Select. R.O.M etc.I am going by memory right now as I am on vacation and in NY City. Anyone can nominate someone for it if they qualify. You send your nomination to the Chairman( i have been told this year it is Gary S), I was the Chairman last year and had 4 nominations. I sent all of them a not that they were nominated with the form to complete with their dogs and titles listed. Two contacted me immedaitely and let me know they did not qualify. Joan sent hers in immediately and she qualified. The 5th person nominated requested the forms from me 3 times. I finally got a list printed from her website with no mention of whether the dogs were Am Or Canadian titles. The form I sent to her had been altered. The form states the deadline to submit is June 1. When I got the form back with her list with the date printed late the "1" had been deleted and her form only stated the deadline as June, period no date. I did not consider her for two reason the altered form (dishonesty) and list did not specify which dogs were American titles. I have all the material she submitted with the dates printed on them. Joan was proposed to the board along with a complete list of her titled animals. As I recall she received 100% of boards vote to be awarded the Lloyd Brackett award. Hope this helps and if you have someone who qualifies then please do give their name to the chairman. It is not an easy award to qualify for and not many have received it.
