Members can recognize outstanding board members who have given generously of their time and talents to their community and their state association with the following awards:
Board Member Service Anniversary Awards
Agencies may honor board members who have served 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and more years with this award from IAPD. Awards are presented at the IAPD Best of the Best Awards Gala in the fall; however, other arrangements can be made for board members unable to attend the gala. Note: Board Member Service Anniversary Awards can be created for any number of years of service.
Outgoing Board Member Award
Agencies can recognize board members who will be stepping down from their local board after any number of years of service with the IAPD Outgoing Board Member Award. Each award is personalized with the board member and agency name, along with the board member’s number of years of service, and is shipped to the agency for presentation on the local level.
Mike Cassidy Commissioner Community Service Award
This annual award is presented to a commissioner whose volunteer service to his or her community emulates the vision and dedicated efforts shown by long-time commissioner Mike Cassidy to improve the quality of life for those in his or her community. Recipients of this award have demonstrated the highest example of community service, personal integrity and ingenuity. This award is presented during the awards luncheon at the annual IAPD/IPRA Soaring to New Heights Conference in January.
