Membership Award
2023 Barbershopper of the Year
Awarded to Darrel Rocke
Each year, the North Pennsmen elect a “Barbershopper of the Year” (BOTY) to recognize a member of the chapter for outstanding service. The recipent is honored with a commemorative cup engraved with the year of the award, the title "Barbershopper of the Year" and the individual's name.The member honored in one year is responsible for running the election of the following year’s BOTY, securing the cup (paid for by the Chapter), having it engraved and presenting it to the winner. This cup is purchased from Koehler’s Jewelers located at Broad and Main Streets in Lansdale, PA (215-855-3627).
The process that has been observed to nominate, elect and recignize the BOTY are as follows:
In December, the current recipient presents a form to the membership requesting nominations for the award to be presented in January or February of the next year. After receiving the nominations, the previous recipient draws up a ballot with the top (most nominations received) 4 to 8 candidates.
These ballots are given to the membership at a subsequent meeting, then collected and counted.
The winner is not announced until the presentation is made, usually at the meeting when the officers of the year are installed.
