By Luigi Baratta, Arizona State Deputy for the Knights of Columbus
Arizona jurisdiction has qualified for the Supreme Knight’s Circle of Honor-Pinnacle Award for the 2021- 2022 fraternal year. All winners will be acknowledged at the Supreme Convention to be held in Nashville, Tennessee, during the States Dinner on Tuesday evening. Each jurisdiction succeeded based on attaining a series of metrics, including 100% or better of the jurisdiction’s intake goal.
The Supreme Knight’s Circle of Honor Award recognizes those jurisdictions who have led the Order through excellence in membership growth. This year state deputies who achieved 100% Percent or more of their annual membership goals are being recognized as Circle of Honor Award winners.
The Supreme Knight’s Pinnacle Award is the highest honor a jurisdiction can achieve. Annually the Supreme Knight recognizes those Circle of Honor state deputies who have demonstrated extraordinary achievements across several membership categories. This year those categories included intake, net membership growth, active councils recruiting and the recruitment of younger members.
I want to sincerely thank all of those brother Knight’s and councils who tirelessly worked to achieve their membership and program goals throughout this last fraternal year. Without your willingness to put forth the effort, we as a jurisdiction would have not been able to achieve this prestigious award.
