IHFA President’s Medal

The IHFA President’s Medal is a prestigious award and the highest honour bestowed on an individual with the Irish Holstein Friesian YMA to a YMA age member of the Irish Holstein Friesian YMA. 

The medal is awarded annually to a YMA member who has excelled in his/her dedication to YMA for the betterment of fellow club members It also takes cognisance of the individual’s achievements and attainments of our talented young members. 

Re-introduced in 2011, all clubs are invited annually to submit a written nomination of their chosen club member as a testament on behalf of the club. A shortlist of candidates is then compiled with the selected candidates interviewed in person by the IHFA President and CE. The successful candidate is then presented with the unique President’s Medal award. For the past number of years both the Presidents Medal, Hall of Fame and other YMA prizes have been announced and presented at the IHFA All Ireland awards function.
