- The Rosebud Award shall be presented biennially in odd numbered years to a member having ten or fewer years of membership and who exhibits outstanding service to her chapter and the state organization, as well as an interest in the international Society.
Criteria for Nomination/Selection (Nomination form)
A. The nomination shall be made by Chapter, will be limited to one per Chapter for each presentation year and the nominee can be a sister from any chapter. A chapter does not have to make a nomination.
B. Presentation will be made in the odd-numbered years at convention.
C. Award selection will be based on active membership in Delta Kappa Gamma/Alpha Zeta State and chapter for ten or fewer years. The years should be counted from January 1st of the year the nominee was inducted to the tenth year. (Ex. 2008-2018)
D. A written narrative by the Chapter President or her designee shall accompany the nomination, describing personal character traits of the nominee in performance of Delta Kappa Gamma activities and her commitment to the Society. (see form)
E. A standing committee of three to five members shall be appointed to review nominations and recommend a recipient for said award based upon the above criteria. (see D above) Chapters that have a nominee for the award will not be represented on the committee. In the event the committee does not make a selection, no recommendation will be made to the Executive Board, and the award will not be presented that year.
- The state’s Dedicated Service Award may be given biennially, in even-numbered years, to a member in Alpha Zeta State in recognition of distinguished service to the Society.
The Dedicated Service Award was established in 1988 to recognize a member of at least 10 years who had given extraordinary service to the Society on the state and chapter level. Those members who are serving or have served as state president are ineligible because they are recognized on the State President’s plaque. Each chapter president or her designee is eligible to nominate one individual—not necessarily a member of the chapter—whom she believes is deserving of this award. After much deliberation the committee makes a selection, which is revealed at the Alpha Zeta State convention banquet. Deadline: November 19, 2021
