Service Awards are granted to members of The Augustan Society, Inc., annually by the [[Board|Board of Directors]]. The web page describing them is at [http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=112 the main web site].
==Definition of Awards==
A service award is to be granted annually to the member who contributed the most to the Society in the previous year. “Contributed” here is not restricted to financial contributions, nor to those factors considered for [[Fellowship]], though one would expect both to be considerations.
Those holding the Metzler award are no longer eligible for service awards.
=Qualification and Selection=
Candidates must be a member in good standing at the time of their nomination.==Qualification and Selection==
Candidates must be a member in [[ConsulsGood Standing]] at the time of their nomination. [[Headquarters Staff]] will nominate a small number of candidates based on the increase in their [[Fellowship ]] scores over the past year.
[[Directors]] may nominate other members in good standing for just cause.
While it is expected that an award will be granted each year, the Board is not obliged to do so.
==Action==
Upon election:
Consuls [[Headquarters Staff]] will send a Letter of notification, with a copy to the [[Augustæum]] Editor.
Consuls [[Headquarters Staff]] will also create a [[Certificate of Award]], signed electronically by the [[President]] and [[Secretary]], affix the [[Corporate Sealof the Corporation]], and send to the recipient with the above letter.
If the honoree attends the [[Annual Convention]] in the year of any of his awards, the insignia will be given to them gratis (but only once). Otherwise, they may purchase the insignia.
It is expected that honorees will be recognized on a permanent plaque to be hung at Headquarters once such a public facility is had.
