HELEN
FIELD FISCHER GOLD MEDAL
2012
Honoree - Kevin P. Walek
Region 3, Virginia |
Established
in 1950, this is the Society's highest honor and is
the official recognition for distinguished and
meritorious service rendered the AHS by a member on
the national level. It is named for the founder of
the American Hemerocallis Society. In general this
award should honor only one person annually, but
two awards have been given on occasion. A dual
award to two members of the same family will count
as one.
Nominations
may be submitted by any AHS member to the AHS
Awards & Honors Chairman by mail or email.
Nominations are due by September 1st for the
upcoming year. The AHS Board votes by secret ballot
at the annual fall board meeting, and the award is
presented at the following AHS National
Convention.
