ISPA GOLDEN EGG AWARD

The ISPA Golden Egg Award was established to honor individuals that have gone above and beyond in their service to the poultry industry in the great state of Indiana. It is awarded on the night of the annual ISPA Poultry Banquet, held in February each year. If you would like to nominate an individual for the ISPA Golden Egg Award, you can use the form below to submit your nomination. All nominated individuals will be presented to the ISPA Board during the November ISPA Board Meeting, at which time they will select, by secret ballot, an individual to receive the ISPA Golden Egg Award. If you have any questions on the ISPA Golden Egg Award, please feel free to reach out to us at (765) 496-3594.
