RVDA Convention logo

RVDA is seeking nominees for its James B. Summers (JBS) Award, which is named after a former executive vice president and CEO of the organization. The 2023 award recipient will be announced and recognized at the RV Dealers Convention/Expo, Nov. 6-10 at Paris Las Vegas.

As RVDA’s highest honor, the JBS award recognizes an individual who has made frequent and distinguished contributions to RVDA and its members.

Nomination Guidelines and Process

Eligible nominees should have provided at least five years of service to RVDA. The nomination should include a written narrative that explains an individual’s contributions to the association, and it should lay out a compelling case for why the individual deserves to be selected for this most prestigious honor.

The late Jim Summers worked on behalf of dealers throughout his career at RVDA and even into his retirement. He was the first to receive the award in 1986.

Deadline for nominations will be June 1. Please submit your nominations via this form and send by email to Julianne Ryder at  jryder@rvda.org.
