Presenting the award were the current NAD Family Ministries directors, Claudio and Pamela Consuegra. The award contains an INUKSHUK. The Inukshuk were stone man-like figures, traditionally used by the Inuits. They were constructed along the Canadian shores to point the wayward traveler back home. The Olivers have faithfully served in the North American Division making a positive impact upon families by pointing them back towards home. Dr. Willie and Elaine Oliver currently serve as the General Conference Family Ministries directors.
