NAPRA RIVER OF HONOR

NAPRA has been in existence for 13 years. We have have over 100 anglers, sponsors, and colleagues that have made our existence blossom into what it is today. 

NAPRA would like to recognize 1 entity a year to be honored into our "River of Honor".  The recipient will receive a special award from NAPRA, recognition from NAPRA at our Fall Banquet, and forever go down in the lore of NAPRA as a legend in our Industry.

HERE ARE 4 NOMINEES TO CONSIDER

VOTING WILL RUN June 4th to June 20th...
Winners announced at our 2018 Fall Banquet

Each Year we will nominate 4 for the H.O.F. The initial list of candidates will be generated by NAPRA CEO Pete Ziehler. Starting in 2019 those not selected will be put back in the pool. Each year only 1 candidate will be selected.  To be selected must have:
~ Minimum of 20 pts (1st choice worth 5 pts, 2nd worth 2)
​~If multiple candidates over 20 pts, most points win as long as they have received 4 1st place votes

The voting is open to all current members and selected alumni of NAPRA.  

Realize for many NAPRA Pros you will not know the folks nominated as many NAPRA pros are less than 3 years of experience in our system.  Please submit a vote.

As CEO my endorsement is for Hope Taft for two reasons:
1-  She is invaluable to keeping the rivers clean and has a large cache of conservatory links for NAPRA
2- With the Wade War in Bellbrook in 2018, she would be a perfect recipient to our initial class since she is a proud Bellbrook resident.

VOTING CONCLUDED. RESULTS ANNOUNCED 8-1

Jack Horning

Jack Horning helped develop NAPRA in 2006 by giving guidance to Founder Pete Ziehler via a 3 hour phone conversation. His company, Stopper Lures continues to be a sponsor of NAPRA. Without his guidance NAPRA would not be what it is today!
