TMS Service
Award | An Overview: |
|
The Masonry Society’s Service Award is
presented annually to an individual who has volunteered in special, and
typically unseen, ways to assist the Society. The intent of the award is to
recognize those who continually assist the Society, but who are not normally
recognized for their efforts. The Award is officially selected by the Awards
Committee based on recommendations from TMS members and the Executive
Director within the requirements listed below.
Criteria - Nominations and evaluation of those
nominations shall be based on the following non-inclusive considerations:
-
for those individuals who provide
distinguished volunteer services to advance the mission and goals of the
Society
-
for those individuals who render
services unseen by others
-
for activities that have not been
formally recognized by the Society through other awards or recognitions
-
for those individuals who provide
service that is not associated with a prominent position within the
Society
-
for those individuals who are
members or non-members of TMS
See the following for
more information on nominating someone for Fellow
Membership
Nominations are due in
2012 on May 15, earlier than in most other years
because TMS's Annual Meeting is 1 month earlier
than is typical.
Up to three (3) Service Awards
can be presented in a year.
An
individual can receive
the TMS Service Award multiple times and there is no
maximum number of awards the individual may win.
However, the basis for each award must be unique and
independent of past contributions that may have
already been recognized.

Anyone who has been involved in the
development of the MSJC will
understand many of the reasons that Dick Bennett received a
Service Award. However, primary reasons he was nominated included
that he routinely helps the Executive Director and TMS staff with
reviews, interpretations, and responding to technical inquiries.
Bennett also assists TMS by serving as an Associate Editor for TMS
Journal and he is a new author for the Masonry Designers’ Guide.
Thomas C. Young is a Founding Member of
TMS and tremendous supporter of the Society. He was nominated for a
Service Award for his considerable help in find presentation topics
and speakers of interest for the 2010 Annual Meeting and for his
assistance in promoting the meetings, moderating a session, and
co-presenting a seminar. Young assisted staff with collecting
shipments, transporting them to the hotel, and providing
materials and equipment for the meetings. |
