BEN DALL AWARD was presented to Mike Gubser. on September 17, 2022 The NACC every couple of years presents the Ben Dall Lifetime Achievement Award to a very deserving member of our club. Ben Dall, our first president had a vision to make this club a strong pillar in the community and is why we give out this award in honor of him. This year, Mike was selected by the committee because he has demonstrated outstanding efforts, in the past and present, to make our club stronger and better for future members to continue our conservation mission. Mike has served as president and 4 or 5 years as vice president of our club in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Also Mike was instrumental in helping the club develop our mission statement, which has kept us focused , and joined together as we are today, on the conservation education of children in our community. And, Mike led our club through some very challenging times as we pursued the construction of our existing club house. Meeting the demands of the Dearborn County Planning and Zoning Board was a very difficult task to accomplish. Congratulations Mike! Mike’s name has been added to the plaque of past winners of this prestigious award that is displayed in the club house.
