On 7/09/09 in a closed session the CDS BOD passed a motion to require CDS Membership in order to apply for the CDS Safety Awards. (Abe Davis, Henry Nicholson and Sheck Exley Awards)

I feel that this motion is a step backwards and portrays our organization as a Good Ol Boys Club

By signing this petition you are indicating that the motion should be overturned and the Awards should be open to anyone who meets the qualifications for the awards.

    • In changing this rule, the CDS closes itself to outsiders, instead of being open. I would more likely become a member after receiving an award then by being forced to in order to get one.
