The Workers Cup recognizes the outstanding worker at Regional events during the past year. It is not necessarily presented each year.

How the trophy is awarded:
Recipients are determined by a vote of the Region's Board of Governors, however, Nebraska Region members are allowed to submit nominations.

Generally speaking, Region officers are not considered for this award for doing the job they were elected to do. All rules have exceptions. If an officer does go so far beyond his/her job description that they are deemed worthy of recognition by the Board, the Workers Cup can be awarded to an outstanding officer.

About the Trophy:
Gifted to Nebraska Region in 1973 by then Area Governor, Mel Bogus, this award started out as the Governor's Cup. It was presented by the Area Governor upon the recommendation of the Region's Board of Governors. The next Area Governor had no interest in continuing the tradition, so the trophy was put to a new use as the Workers Cup.
