Distinguished Service Award
Commissioned in 2006, this Annual Award recognizes three (3) Board
Members - one from a small county, one from a medium sized county and
one from a large county - for their outstanding service and commitment
to their local County Board of DD. The recipient need not have
served as a Trustee on the Ohio Association of County Boards to
be selected, but should have served on some statewide board (i.e., ARC
Ohio, DD Council, etc.). Individuals are nominated by local county
boards, who are asked to provide a one-page overview of why the
candidate is a worthy recipient. Nominees are judged through a review
of a one-page overview of if the individual is a worthy recipient of
the award. The award is presented at the Annual Convention.
