This award was established in 2007 to honor the memory of hybridizer Steve Moldovan for his life-long mentoring efforts.  Nominations should be submitted to the Awards & Honors Chairman by September 1 each year.  Nominations are then reviewed by the AHS Board at their annual fall meeting.  Serving board members are not eligible.  If the AHS Board determines that one of the nominated individuals has mirrored the paradigm of mentoring that Steve Moldovan exemplified during his lifetime, it will grant the award.  This may include mentoring new hybridizers, mentoring youth, or mentoring a local daylily club.  The award consists of an engraved medallion, which will be presented by a representative of Region 2 at the following National Convention.  Region 2 will finance the award for a period of 15 years.
