The Herman Pruitt Mentoring Award was established in 2010 by the Central Daylily Club in memory of its founder, Herman Pruitt, and to honor and perpetuate his mentoring efforts in Region 15. Generous with both his time and personal resources, Herman Pruitt exemplified the term “role model” for others. The award is open to any Region 15 member who has made outstanding efforts in mentoring others regarding daylilies. This may include mentoring youth, new hybridizers, or a new daylily club.
The Herman Pruitt Mentoring Award was sponsored by the Central Daylily Club from fall 2011-fall 2015. When the club dissolved in 2015, the newly formed Triad Daylily Fans and Gardening Club agreed to assume sponsorship.
Nominations for the Herman Pruitt Mentoring Award must be presented to the Awards Management Chair by September 1 of each year. Nominations should be in narrative form and should include details of the nominee’s mentoring efforts as well as provide any other information about the nominee’s contributions to AHS and Region 15. Nominations will be reviewed and voted on by the Region 15 Board. An engraved plaque will be presented to the winner at the Region 15 fall meeting by the president of the sponsoring club or the president’s designee.
