The Distinguished Service Award is
presented to members who have
distinguished themselves in singular and
beneficial long-term service to AAPG.
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.
Guidelines for Consideration of
Candidates
The emphasis should be on long-term and,
at the same time, meaningful service to the
Association. The term singular does not
necessarily mean without precedent, but rather
that the activity be specific as distinguished from
general service (such as membership on
committees).
Procedure for Recommendation
Nominations for this award should be
submitted, along with documentation, to the
Chairman of the Honors and Awards
Committee at Association Headquarters. The
recommendations of the Committee will be
submitted to the Advisory Council which will
submit its selection to the Executive Committee
for final action.
Description of Award
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.
