Forrest L. Wood Sportsmanship & Community Leadership Award
Community outreach is one of FLW's core values. We are dedicated to giving back and improving each community we visit. Through our family-friendly events and community partnerships, we build strong relationships everywhere we go. Community outreach is an integral part of our tradition of valued community service.
FLW and Goodwill work together to build strong communities. From conservation to community strengthening, we care about the anglers, sponsors and millions of fans that enjoy FLW tournaments each year.
To celebrate our work together, FLW and Goodwill will recognize the angler that exemplified the ideals of sportsmanship and community service through the 2012 season. The Forrest L. Wood Sportsmanship and Community Leadership Award presented by Goodwill recognizes the individual who displayed overall commitment of sportsmanship and community leadership, on and off the water, by displaying ethical behavior, upholding integrity, class, selflessness, conservation efforts and kindness to others.
The same values that brought Goodwill and FLW together as partners inspire the high standards of this award. By recognizing this outstanding individual who set a high standard with their approach on and off the water, FLW hopes to set the tone for tournament fishing and to pass those values on to its anglers, sponsors, fans and host communities.
Nomination and Selection Process:
Those interested in nominating a FLW Tour pro angler must submit a nomination form to Allie Gibbs, Outreach Manager no later than Friday, August 3, 2012. Self or peer nominations will be accepted.
