Chairman’s Service Award

The Chairman’s Service Award was one of three awards added in March 1988 outside of the formal Awards Committee structure. It is awarded by the Chairman in recognition of superior service to the organization. The award consists of a personalized certificate and a gold lapel pen.

The Chairman may decide the number of awards given that year as well as the recipients.
