John Clark Award

Each year, at the Annual Meeting and Dinner, an individual is awarded with the Chapter's second highest honor, the John Clark Service Award. This award is given to the "unsung hero" of our chapter - someone who quietly goes about their business of contributing to the chapter. The award was started in 1998 and is named after chapter member, John Clark, who passed away in 1997. He had been a major contributor to the chapter, serving on the Executive Board and leading many trips. He was Appie of the Year in 1994. His last effort for the chapter was as the Gansett Gazette editor.
