Suggestions for awards?

The Chapter acknowledges the hard work of its volunteers with four awards at the Chapter level.  The first three are described in the ARS bylaws;  the President's Award is a less formal one of the chapter's devising.  The Honors Committee is always looking for suggestions from members.  If you would like to suggest someone for one of these awards, contact Janet Killeen at: Janet@Killeen.cc.

Bronze Medal:  Awarded for outstanding contributions to the chapter, which may include accomplishments of the recipient outside the chapter consistent with the goals of the A.R.S.  The honoree must be a member of the Society. [This is the highest award the chapter can give a member.]

Over the past ten years the chapter has awarded the Bronze Medal to the following individuals:
