That plaque is on display at all District 5 regionals.The Ann McGilvrey Award honors a District 5 player, or in some cases a pair, who demonstrates ethical behavior and good sportsmanship at the bridge table. The recipients are not chosen on the basis of service or bridge ability. Only past winners are invited to participate in the selection process. Anyone may nominate someone and the choice among the nominees is made by previous winners.  Typically the selection committee will look for someone who has established a district-wide reputation for active ethics and good manners.
