Sterling Service Award
PURE DEDICATION.
The Tenth District Awards Committee is responsible for receiving nominations and overseeing the selection of the Sterling Service award winner. This award is given at the District’s Annual Convention in April and may not be awarded every year.
The Sterling Service Award is the American Advertising Federation Tenth District’s highest honor. Its purpose is to recognize a current or past member of the Tenth District who has made outstanding and unselfish contributions to the growth and improvement of advertising in the AAF-Tenth District.
Nomination Criteria
Any current or past member of a Tenth District Advertising Club/Federation is eligible for nomination. This member must have made substantial contributions to advertising on a local and district level. Any contributions at the national level should also be noted.
A nomination may be made by an AAF Tenth District club affiliate or an AAF Tenth District member in good standing. Nominations will not be carried over year-to-year.
