Service Awards are granted to members of The Augustan Society, Inc., annually by the Board of Directors. The web page describing them is at [File:http://augustansociety.org/cpage.php?pt=112].

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.

The award granted will be the Balling award, unless the recipient has received that award five times, in which case they will be granted the Metzler award.

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.

Consuls 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.

The Board, meeting in closed session, will select the deserving candidate.

While it is expected that an award will be granted each year, the Board is not obliged to do so.

Action

Upon election:

Consuls will send a Letter of notification, with a copy to the Augustæum Editor.

Consuls will create a Certificate of Award, signed electronically by the President and Secretary, affix the Corporate Seal, and send to the recipient with the above letter.

If the honoree attends the Convention in the year of his award, the insignia will be given to them gratis. Otherwise, they may purchase the insignia.

The insignia is a lapel pin, oval, Or gutté de sang, an eagle displayed Sable: Fas-hc.gif

It is expected that honorees will be recognized on a permanent plaque to be hung at Headquarters once such a public facility is had.
