I know it's not popular, but we all know that for things to change for the good, it would help to have excellent notaries nominated for the NNA Notary of the Year. We all know that Claudine was honored not too long ago, and I believe she's really helped.
So, my suggestion? Nominate somebody. Anybody. (As long as you fell that person is a good notary, of course!) They say they're looking for "Groundbreaking Notaries" -- I think they need to know what that *really* means.

Of course... I know for many here the idea of an award from them isn't the most appealing thing in the world, but we all know how many notaries in our profession think of the NNA as the single source and authority, and it's important to have a voice. Claudine really made some headway, and I think we can do more.
We've done well in the past... remember recently how our efforts got the Los Angeles County Clerk's office to change their website to reflect accurate information for potential notaries? That was an amazing effort. I'll bet if we give the NNA a pool of truly qualified, groundbreaking notaries to look at, we might be able to make more progress for our profession.
It's just a thought. The deadline for nominations is today, though... from what I've read of the rules, one does not need to be a member of the NNA to be chosen.
