What are NODA Bucks?
One NODA Buck = ONE Volunteer Hour = $1.00 
EXCEPTION : NODA bucks used for NODA education events have Variable Value!
When you volunteer your time to NODA, you are given one NODA Buck for every hour you volunteer. They Never Expire!Use them like Cash! Use them when entering or registering for any NODA Sponsored Schooling Show, Education Event, or renewing your annual NODA Membership Dues!
Four (4) NODA Bucks earned in the current competition year REQUIRED when applying for NODA Year-End Awards
To apply for NODA Year End Awards, you must attach four (4) NODA bucks earned in that competition year to your Competition Report Form(s). Only 4 NODA bucks required, no matter how many awards you apply for. See AWARDS for complete details. You don't want to miss out on these awards, trophies and scholarships!

NODA Bucks Worth More at NODA Education Events
NODA Bucks applied toward NODA Education events will have a variable value. Your NODA Bucks could be worth several times their face value. Members will be notified of the NODA Buck value in each specific NODA Education event registration form. We want our members and volunteers to know how much we value their time and efforts! Example. The Education Committee may assign a value of $5.00 per each NODA Buck for a $60.00 event and allow a member to pay up to half of the full fee in NODA Bucks. This means you can use six (6) NODA Bucks and $30.00 to pay for the function, or Four (4) NODA Bucks and $40.00 for the same event. It just depends upon how many NODA Bucks you have! We hope that this important change will enhance the appeal of volunteering for NODA, and let our volunteers know that NODA recognizes that member time is worth so much more than a buck!
