SUBJECT:

Executive Director Recommendation for Additional Years of Membership Recognition

Background The current AOAC INTERNATIONAL Member Service Award Program recognizes all AOAC members who have attained the milestone anniversaries of 5, 10, 25 and 50 years of membership in the Association.

Recommendation Expand the Member Recognition Award program to include new milestone anniversaries of 30-35-40- 45-years with a unique lapel pin for each of the milestones. We have heard member comments that 25 years is a long time to wait for additional recognition of some of our most loyal members.
