The Carolina Service Award, known as the Willard Gardner Service Award until 2004 and as the Region 15 Service Award from 2004 until 2015, is designed to recognize outstanding service to AHS Region 15. This award is currently sponsored by Mid-Carolina Daylily Society.
This award can be granted purely for service to the AHS mission in one’s local community alone; however, service elsewhere within the region or at the national level certainly adds extra weight to the nomination. Generally, it should require a variety of activities, and it should reflect service over a period of time, not just for one or two years. No award should be given or expected as a “thank you purely for holding an office. One’s leadership and impact are more important than simply holding office.”*
Any Region 15 member(s) may nominate an individual or couple who work together that he/she deems worthy of the Carolina Service Award. The nomination letter should include detailed reasons for the nomination—specific examples of why this person is worthy of the award. The letter may be sent via e-mail or the USPS to the Awards Management Chair and must arrive on or before Sept. 1. Contact information for the person making the nomination is required.
The RP, RPD, Secretary/Treasurer, and two past winners of this award will constitute the selection committee for the award. The current Board and Awards Committee members are not eligible, nor are previous recipients.
The Award will be presented at the Region 15 fall meeting by the president of the sponsoring club or the president’s designee.
