Woody Dunn Memorial

Although the Woody Dunn is not the oldest trophy in Nebraska Region, it is the most prestigious and is, therefore, listed first among the annual awards.

The Woody Dunn Memorial Trophy is presented to a member who has made an outstanding contribution to the Nebraska Region over the past year.

This recognition is given by a vote of the Region's Board of Governors. The Woody Dunn Trophy is not necessarily presented each year.

Dubbed "The Big Ugly" ... the Woody Dunn Trophy stands 18 inches tall and weighs in around 15 pounds.

The trophy lists all of the winners on five engraved plates, but the oldest names are becoming difficult to read.
