Honorary HERD members

[Ironhead]

thinking about this thread

http://www.hdherd.com/showthread.php?1500-Welcome-the-Family-of-Sgt.-Brandon-Bury

I make a motion that we open a program to honor people who have made a difference in the motorcycling community or in the lives of HERD members, either directly or indirectly

My idea would be to have another section of this site opened up
"honorary HERD members" (HHM)
in that section people could nominate folks who they think should be an honory HERD member and why. After a nomination, I think maybe we should have people say "eye" or "neh" as to weather the person should get the HHM

I do think there should be some sort of criteria for folks to be nominated. the main thing being, we are a motorcycle community, so they should have something to do with motorcycles, or our community.

My thoughts would be to have a certificate of some sort that could be sent to the HHM or his/her family with a link to our site.


thoughts, ideas, suggestions, oppinions?

I second that suggestion! I would think that this should not be something given lightly and a lot of consideration needs to be given before someone is nominated. I can add a section in the Private Section.

[Ironhead]

Thank you Boss. and I agree, we need this to be given serious consideration, nad hopefully we can have folks offer suggestions as to why or why not any nominee should or shouldn't be given the status, without anyone getting offended
debates sure, but pissy arguments should be avoided

[Boss]

It's set up in the Private Section -

[Ironhead]

thanks boss. I will post there in a second.

now, if Sarah Palin offers a pic of her in a bikini on her sportster, does she qualify? :):):)

I would say that depends on how nice the Sportster is...... erbox

What about having say one or more a month, and that its a poll. That way we can have a justification ( write-up ) by who is doing the nominating for each HHM. And we can have the a semi private vote. I can see where a Nay vote may hurt someones feeling, or bring up "why didn't you vote eye for my mom she is totally cool and you are now a dick for not voting for her". Just a suggestion.

I do think this is a good idea though.

[Ironhead]

I fully agree that a nay vote can hurt some folks feeling, that's why I am hoping everyone will be diplomatic about this and be serious about it. If someone nominates someone, they need to show reasons why that person deserves the HHM
and if someone votes "nay" they need to offer good reason as to why they reject it

[DevilDog]

In the Company I was in in the Marines. We had something similar, where the monthly winner got a certificate. and at the end of the year everyone voted on winner for the year and they got a plaque. But this will only work if only one is awarded each month. If we have multiple, the " Of the Year" will not work.

you know Dave, you may be on to something
maybe do it like that, any HERD member in good standing can nominate anyone they want, and include a short essay as to why they are nominating the person. at the end of each month the HERD votes on which nominee gets the HHM.

great idea....you da man

Can't take credit for that one Josh, just remembered how we did of the month, of the year. It was your idea for HHM which I think is great. Takes us to the next level.

well, i nominate everybody in the herd for what you done for me when i crashed my bike.

I would not limit it to one a month, could have more than one deserving nomination in any given month.
