Club Awards

Public Service Honor Roll – Recognition for hams who volunteer for one or more of our Public Service Events. One star is awarded for each event worked. This is available to members and non-members.  Public Service Honor Roll

Ham-of-the-Year – A long MARC and MARS tradition. This award recognizes significant contributions to the club in the past year. Nominations are made by board members and committee chairs to the club president who will pick the recipient. In 2019 the board determined to realign the process for making this award to more closely correspond to its name. Prior to that the was based on:

“Any member may be nominated for this annual award, except for currently serving directors. Nominations may be made by any previous awardee. Previous years awardees discuss the nominees, reach consensus, and make a recommendation to the Club President. Previous awardees shall be ineligible to receive this award for a period of ten years from their previous award. It is normally awarded to members who have selflessly volunteered in and/or enhanced club activities. (Some years we have neglected to award this honor.) “

President’s Award of Achievement – There are some people who have long histories of contributing to the club. Because of this history of service they have often been awarded some or all of the club awards. Then they go even further. We needed a way to recognize those exceptional members. Individuals of this kind are few and far between and this award will only be made in these rare circumstances.
