This award was established by the SSA Directors in 1964 to recognize individuals and groups whose achievements have been, in the opinion of the Directors, of such import as to warrant special recognition for such achievements that do not normally qualify under other established SSA awards. Recipients are presented with a suitable engraved certificate at the SSA Annual Awards Banquet. ( photo courtesy of John Seaborn )
