Dear ITF-USA Membership,

We are pleased to announce a new addition to the ITF-USA website, the Member Spotlight.  This feature of our website will feature members of the ITF-USA that embody the spirit and tenets of Taekwon-Do in their daily lives, through their achievements in both life and Taekwon-Do, and through their contributions to the community.  The selected Spotlight members may be dan holders, color belts, even schools/groups of students that exemplify those principles that we hold so dear and are building the ITF-USA upon.

To facilitate our ability to feature as many of these deserving martial artists as possible, we would like to solicit your help in nominating individuals or groups from your school or region that exhibit these characteristics.  This might be a student that has overcome a significant challenge or obstacle; it may be a student or group of students that devoted their time and abilities on behalf of others; it might be a student who has dedicated themselves to Taekwon-Do and excelled in national or international competition.  All of these are examples of worthy submissions.

In order to submit a student or group, please send the following via email to webmaster@itf-usa.org:

1.  Name and rank of the student(s) with 1 high resolution digital photo of the student (in do-bok)
2.  School attended, and instructor
3.  Description of challenge, obstacle, achievement, contribution, etc.
4.  Quote from the student
5.  Quote from the instructor
6.  Quote from anyone else involved, benefitted by the student's actions, etc.

Nominations will be reviewed by the ITF-USA Board of Directors.  Once approved, one will be chosen monthly to be featured on the website. 

With your help, we can both recognize our outstanding students, and prominently display to our web audience the quality of membership that we enjoy in the ITF-USA.  This is an outstanding tool to allow us to both reward our students, and to promote the ITF-USA and Taekwon-Do here in the United States.  Thank you in advance for your help and contributions.

ITF-USA Board of Directors
