Restrictions
More than one Member of the Association may be considered in any one year for this award, but Honorary Members should generally be excluded.

The recommendations of the Committee will be submitted to the Advisory Council which will submit its selection to the Executive Committee for final action.

This award is a walnut plaque with the AAPG emblem in brass and a brass plate bearing the recipient’s name, the date, and citation.
History
This award was established by Executive Committee action in 1971.
