Nominate Virginia Libertarian of the Year
Event: Call for Nominees – LPVA Volunteer Recognition
Description: At its January meeting in 2004, the State Central Committee,
the governing body of the LPVA, unanimously adopted a resolution declaring
the third Monday of February to be “Libertarian Leadership Day”. The
state committee chooses one outstanding Libertarian activist, declared to
be our “Libertarian Leader”, as part of its celebration of Libertarian
Leadership Day.
In 2014, we decided to establish two recognitions:
1) Libertarian Leader Lifetime Service Award – For those rare activists
who have steadily volunteered for LPVA over a period of many years.
2) Libertarian Leader of the Year – Recognizing those who have made
extensive contributions to the LPVA in any given year.
The State Central Committee typically selects the nominee at the first
meeting of each year.
All members of the Libertarian Party who reside in Virginia are invited to
suggest nominees for each recognition. The nominee must be a Virginia
resident, and must be an LP member. If you would like to nominate an
outstanding activist for either title, please email the Secretary via or
send a letter (to M Montoni, PO Box 864, Dayton VA 22821-0864), and ask
to have the person’s name added to the Agenda.
Please include a brief, one or two-paragraph “activist resume” for your
nominee, and perhaps a statement telling us why you think the person
deserves to be officially recognized.
Your nominations will be provided to all state committee members and will
be included on the March meeting agenda.
The inaugural “Libertarian Leader” was Ron Crickenberger, who at the time
in 2004 was suffering from terminal cancer.
