Hello All:
 
 At NIWeek 2016, we will present the 5th Annual LUGnut Awards on Tuesday, August 2nd on the Expo Floor. 
 
 I am looking to you for nominations for this year's winners. Please note, LUGs around the world are eligible for these awards, be sure to give a 'shout out' for your home meeting. 
 
 Also, as you can see below, we are very flexible when it comes to honoring the best of the best. If there isn't a category that fits what you are trying to express, submit it anyway… Best venue, Best Food, Most Fun…nothing is off limits and nothing is etched in stone.
 Please submit your recommendations to me with a few reasons why your meeting should be in the winner's circle. Deadline for submissions is Friday, July 15th. kelly.hunka@ni.com
