Additional letters of support are not needed, but may be included. Nomination materials should be submitted to the Director of Strategic Development for Woodstock Little League. The award is for lifetime achievement rather than for a single contribution, no matter how monumental. Nominees should have a minimum of 5 years of distinguished service. The Lifetime Achievement Award is awarded in board leadership/development, coaching, and volunteer service. Distinction in these categories are demonstrated through: Performance of the nominee during their volunteer service, service beyond the requirements of their position, service to Woodstock Little League such as their roles held/ special projects, and development of league players.

Marvin E. Lang Jr. obituary, 1936-2017, Woodstock, IL
 From 1991 to 2010, Bob and the "12 Apostles" took maintained "Dream Field" in Emrison Park after rebuilding it.  His love for baseball -- he was an ardent White Sox fan -- made him the ideal VFW representative when the Little League was organized in 1954. Joe then became the leader when the VFW established a ream for 13- and 14-year-olds and the National VFW's Teener League program.
