ONLINE NOMINATION FORM BELOW The Prairie Voice Awards are presented to members who have provided exemplary service or have been role models and mentors for our members. The objective is to recognize PSAC members for their commitment to the labour movement and work that benefits PSAC members in the Prairies.

**DEADLINE IS EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, MARCH 13TH, 2020**  After reviewing the current level of delegate credentials that have been submitted, Prairie Region Council has decided to allow for a one-time only extension of the delegate credential deadline. A completed credential form for all delegates must be received in the REVP office no later than March 13, 2020 along with a registration fee of $150 per delegate (if applicable).
