The Ronald F. Abler Distinguished Service Honors Award celebrates service to the Association and the community of AAG members. Examples of such service include but are not limited to: the launch of a successful new AAG Specialty Group to fill a significant gap in the Association's sub-disciplinary offerings, improving the AAG's profile and increasing its visibility, contributing significantly to special AAG initiatives or member-focused efforts, and/or sustaining a career-long arc of service and leadership on AAG committees, task forces, Specialty/Affinity Groups, and in AAG governance. Nomination dossiers must have at least 3 and not more than 5 letters of support documenting the nominee's contributions to and impact on geography in the specific Honors category for which they are being nominated, and must also include the candidate's CV. Efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the discipline need to be addressed in the nomination letters. Self-nominations are allowed, but must include the required letters of support.
