Each year, the Sweet Adelines International Region 15 Member Longevity Recognition list appears in the spring Convention program, and the presentation of the member certificates and celebrations happens at VocalFest in the fall. This gives us two opportunities to cheer on our milestone members. We can congratulate the award winners over contest weekend, and look forward to celebrating them again at VocalFest!
See the links below for each year's member milestones (15 years plus). The documents also call out chapter anniversaries (5 years and beyond) for our active choruses.
Some timing clarification, as communicated in a Regional News Blog post back in 2023:
Recognizing membership milestones is a tradition and an honor - but it is often a point of confusion. So we would like to offer some clarity. The 2023 SAI Longevity Awards are based on membership calculated as of December 31, 2022. SAI kicks off the annual process with their announcement at International.
It flows like this:
SAI 2023 Longevity Awards Announced at International 2022 (Calculated as of 12/31/2022)
Region 15 Honorees listed in 2023 Regional Convention Program
Region 15 Certificates and Celebration at VocalFest 2023
SAI 2024 Longevity Awards Announced at International 2023 (Calculated as of 12/31/2023)
Region 15 Honorees listed in 2024 Regional Convention Program
Region 15 Certificates and Celebration at VocalFest 2024
And so on...
