Regarding the name of your award - yours is certainly an easier acronym
and
quite possibly not intended to offend the people who sit on the Board
(specifically those who voted against keeping the nominations free)....I
just don't visualize anyone of our members (volunteer leaders or
otherwise)
as "Bone-Heads"....and the label is somewhat negative/off-putting in an
otherwise stellar message.
A name can be important, and I used a name as carefully as I could.
When I was on the board they voted to give an award for Herding Instinct
Test. I suggested that since we would be using sheep, we change it to the
Sheep Herding Instinct Test. I think we talked about it for half an hour
before anyone picked up on what I was suggesting.
