SUMMARY:Club Member of the Year Awards 2026
DESCRIPTION:Nominations are now open!   Complete a nomination form here. \nEvery season\, our Squadron is shaped by the people who quietly give their time\, energy and expertise\, often without being asked and rarely seeking thanks. On Friday\, 22 May 2026\, we’ll come together at our annual “Yachtshare Club Member of the Year Awards” to celebrate those people. \nTo give our volunteers the recognition they deserve\, we’ve specifically chosen a date that falls during National Volunteer Week\, a national event celebrated by organisations all around the country to mark the enormous effort made across each and every industry in our society.  From the healthcare sector\, education sector right through to the arts and of course\, sport\, volunteers make up an enormous part of our workforce.   In fact\, in Queensland alone\, over 64% of the population volunteered in 2024 for an average of 21 hours per month! \nKeep in mind that volunteering includes both formal and informal types: formal volunteering being that which is organised through an organisation like RQYS\, and informal volunteering which includes spontaneous\, self-organised and non-affiliated individual or group activities such as helping a neighbour or collecting litter along a beach with friends.  In a nutshell\, volunteering is time willingly given for the common good without financial gain. As time is arguably our most precious resource\, the giving of it is more precious than even money.   To read more\, visit the State of Volunteering in Qld Report 2024. \nWe are excited to shine a light on the work of our volunteers at the 2026 Club Member of the Year Awards on 22 May.   We need your input to make sure every volunteer who goes above and beyond here at RQYS is nominated for an award.   That means they need you to give your time to complete a nomination form\, in one the following five categories: \n\nMarine Sports Volunteer Award – for significant contribution to on-water activities\nCruising and Navigation Volunteer Award  – for significant contribution to sail\, power and/or navigation programs\nSocial Events Volunteer Award – for significant contribution to social organisation for the inclusion of members\nMember Facilities Volunteer Award – for significant contribution to Finn’s Shed or other land-based effort\nSpecial Contributor Award – for significant contribution in other or combination of several areas within the Squadron\nYachtshare Club Member of the Year Award – open to Full Members only for significant contribution to any aspect of the Squadron in the selection year\n\nPlease note: Serving Flag Officers and members of General Committee are excluded from qualification for these awards while they hold these positions. \nEligible volunteers\, nominees and their guests will receive an email invitation to the event prior to 30 April 2026!
