Awards

The Distinguished Service Award was first presented in 1971 to recognize a lifetime of outstanding service to the Association and to the profession. The Award is presented to the person judged to have made the greatest contribution to the association and to the profession during her or his career and is generally, but not necessarily, given to a person who has made a number of contributions during her or his career. The contributions may be in research, teaching, or service. In most cases, the individual selected will have made outstanding contributions in all three areas.
