The backbone of any rodeo is no doubt the rodeo committee and their countless volunteers that donate their time and skills to put on a good show for the fans. While the contestants and animals are the stars, they would never shine if it were not for the work of a large supporting cast of volunteers that come together, working for a common goal of making the event a success.

In 1948, the Girls Rodeo Association, now Women’s Professional Rodeo Association was Built For Women By Women by 38 strong female leaders in the western industry. In honor of them and in partnership with Montana Silversmiths, we will be recognizing one female committee member/volunteer that has gone above and beyond in their local community to make the rodeo a success and/or who has been a staple of the local rodeo for numerous years keeping the tradition alive and well.
The inaugural recipient in 2022 was Cindy Williams, a staple of the rodeo community in Vernal, Utah and the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo and Tammie Hiatt representing the Jim Shoulders Living Legends Rodeo in Henryetta, Oklahoma received the award in 2023.
We are now accepting nominations for the 2024 Committee Woman of the Year. Please use this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GCTTG7S to submit your nomination. All nominations must be received by November 4. The winner will be notified shortly after and will be honored at the WPRA Star Celebration luncheon taking place at the South Point Hotel & Casino on December 5.
