Stephen D. Keener, President and Chief Executive Officer of Little League Baseball and Softball (at far right in the back row) and Timothy Hughes, former chairman of the Little League International Board of Directors (on left in the front row) are pictured with the 2007 Little League Awards program winners, following the awards banquet held in Williamsport, Pa., during the Little League Baseball World Series.

Every league should participate in the Awards Program, because every league has individuals who should be recognized for their commitment to and participation in Little League. By taking part in the Little League Awards Program, the local league demonstrates the benefits and values of volunteerism, family and sportsmanship. Awards program materials may be downloaded at the Little League website.

The national recipient for each award (and a guest) will be the guests of AIG and Little League International at the 2008 Little League Baseball World Series, and will receive round-trip transportation and hotel accommodations. These individuals will be honored at the annual Little League Baseball World Series Awards Breakfast and during pre-game ceremonies.

Questions regarding the Awards Program should be directed to Scott Rosenberg at Little League International.

Remember to send your completed nomination forms directly to Little League International in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, by June 1, 2008, for your nominees to be considered for national recognition.
