Johnston Award

The Johnston Award, established in 1982 on the occasion of his retirement on the association’s 25th anniversary, is named in honor of Floyd T. Johnston, the first Executive Director of the association. The award is presented to a member for outstanding active and faithful service to the association over a minimum period of 9 years, to coincide with Floyd’s tenure as Executive Director. Contemporary Board members are not eligible until one year after leaving office. Nominations for this award are made by the membership at large to the Awards Committee. For nominations to be valid, they must be endorsed by 3 members having different Chapter affiliations. The Committee chooses the candidate(s) from the nominations for consideration and selection by the President. The Award, not necessarily conferred annually, is presented at the Annual Banquet. 

Nominations are due March 15.
