Frank Wright Award
Frank Wright officiated with the North Bay Officials Organization from 1980-2014, retiring as a widely respected Referee. Frank was a true leader who impacted everyone he officiated with. His experience as a dedicated high school teacher made him an excellent mentor to officials both new and experienced. His professionalism, sense of humor, quick wit and lighthearted personality earned him instant friendships with officials and coaches equally.  He was a true gentleman with overwhelming rules knowledge, a feel for the game and a calming presence on the field. For his sense of knowledge, mentorship, professionalism and attitude the NBOO proudly names our top award in his honor for the official who most personifies Frank’s spirit.

Bob Alvarado Award
Bob was very active in sports and officiated multiple sports at various levels. Throughout Bob's 23 years with the NBOA, he was very instrumental in the training of new officials, serving as a mentor and role model. In January 1994, Bob suffered a severe stroke, which had left him completely paralyzed on one side. However, Bob continued his interest in sports and the well-being of the NBOA. Bob passed away in April 2000. This award is presented to the most outstanding 1st through 3rd year official, based on co-official/coaches ratings, test scores, attitude and dedication.
