APTA creates Service Award

The APTA Service Award was created in 2009 to honor the spirit of volunteerism that has been so important to the health of our sport. Candidates for the Award will exemplify volunteer service according to three criteria:

1. Volunteerism without any expectation of a personal gain pure giving versus doing something that might advance their business or standing in the community.

2. Efforts that are transformative efforts that create new potential or bring substantive change to the sport on a National or Regional basis.

3. Efforts that have a sustained impact on our sport over a period of years.
