The AAPG Foundation Trustees approved nominations for the Trustee Associate Service Award for 2012 and 2013. A committee assembled for this particular purpose submitted Jack Martin for the 2012 award and Ken Masters for the 2013 award. The reason both awardees were named this year is because the award was established last year but it wasn’t until this year that the selection process was established.

Both recipients are invited to the 2013 Trustee Associate annual meeting in Cle Elum, Washington, to receive their awards.

The Trustee Associate Service Award is presented to individuals or corporations who have distinguished themselves in beneficial long-term service to the AAPG Foundation through participation in the Trustee Associates.

Martin has been a Trustee Associate since 1980 and Ken Masters has been a Trustee Associate since 1994. Both individuals have been very active with the group and are strong, consistent supporters of the AAPG Foundation.

Martin lives in Lafayette, LA with his wife, Jane. They spend their winters in Sun Lakes, AZ.

Masters lives in Conroe, TX with his wife, Ruth.
