JUSTIN COMMITTEEMAN OF THE YEAR

Justin Boots, in recognizing the hundreds of thousands of hours of work that rodeo committee members around the country donate to putting on their local rodeos, has long made a practice of honoring outstanding volunteers around the country through its John Justin Standard of the West program. PRCA rodeos vote on the recipient of Justin’s national award for a committeeperson whose dedication represents the deeds of those thousands of volunteers. In 2022, that award went to Tim Baldwin, Chairman of the Livestock Welfare Committee for California Rodeo Salinas.
