The members of CUPC nominate who they feel goes above and beyond what is expected and displays a true servant's spirit. Last year most all ballots were cast for one person. Then there was a huge gap between 1st and 2nd place and then 3rd place was close maybe only a ballot's difference to 2nd. This year was much different.
