Distinguished Service Award Nomination Form
The Distinguished Service Award, created in 1946, is the highest individual award a member may receive. It recognizes a lifetime of service and loyalty to the Fraternity.
Nominees must have demonstrated outstanding loyalty and dedication to the Fraternity for many years that distinguished themselves as a member deserving recognition above all others. Their actions exhibit a deep understanding of the Fraternity’s teachings, adherence to Fraternity Laws, attention to the promotion of its welfare and exemplary conduct that guards well its honor and high standing.
Understanding the nomination form and process:
-
Nominations must be received by the Eminent Supreme Recorder/CEO at least eight weeks in advance of a desired presentation date.
-
All nominations will be reviewed once a quarter.
-
Not all nominations will ultimately be selected, and there is no guaranteed time window in which a nominee will be selected.
-
Nominations only need to be submitted once and will stay on file with the Supreme Council.
-
If your nominee is selected, you will be notified. Otherwise, your nomination is still under consideration.
This award is approved by the Supreme Council and presented by the Supreme Council at the Fraternity Convention or at other times as deemed appropriate. Nominations can be made by any member of the Fraternity. To avoid disappointment, the nominee should not be notified of their nomination.
