Establishment of the Award
This award was established in 1993 by the NASAR Board of Directors to recognize
significant contributions to national search and rescue. The award is to focus
recognition in the areas of exemplary "Youth Leader" and "Dedication to Education". It is granted to an individual only and solely on merit. It does not have
to be granted every year.
Basis for the Award
Any type of contribution to search and rescue shall qualify an individual/unit
as a nominee for the NASAR Bob Wright Award, providing the following criteria
are met:
- The contribution must be in the area of "Youth Leader".
- Contributions must indicate that the nomination has proven to be "Dedicated to
Education". Education contributions can include, but are not limited to, Search
and Rescue Operations, Survival, Emergency Medicine, Urban Search and Rescue.
- A contribution can be substantiated as having had a considerable consequence
on search and rescue. Evidence must be included in the nomination substantiating
or demonstrating such consequence.
- The outcome or results, rather than the process of the contribution must be described
and substantiated.
