Distinguished Service Award
The Distinguished Service Award – Established 2001
Over the years large numbers of SCI Members have willingly given their time and energies to help the Society flourish. SCI has many ways in which the efforts of talented and committed volunteers are recognised; one of the most prized is the Distinguished Service Award. Launched in 2001 (the year the United Nations celebrated the International Year of the Volunteer), this award offers a chance to applaud the enthusiasm, hard work and goodwill of longer-serving Members of all component parts of the Society.
