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 on
June 30th of each year.
Nominations forms are accepted until June 30th
of each year for possible award consideration at
that year’s Annual Meeting. 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.
2009
TMS Service Awards
presented to Ed Huston, Richard Klinger
and Tina Subasic
At TMS’s 2009 Annual
Meeting Awards Luncheon, TMS Vice
President, Dr. Russel H. Brown, who chairs TMS's Awards Committee,
presented three Society's Service Awards to Edwin T.
Huston, Richard E. Klingner, and Christine A. Subasic. The Masonry Society started
this award in 2006 to recognize individuals who volunteer in special, and typically unseen, ways.
The intent of the award is to recognize those who continually assist
the Society, but who are not normally recognized for their efforts.
Edwin T. Huston has generously contributed his time and
knowledge for the betterment of The Masonry Society. He helps behind
the scenes running trial design problems, working on solving code
differences, and proposing alternate ideas to solve problems. When
working with other Societies and groups, Ed is a strong supporter
and promoter of TMS. He assist with the Masonry Designer's Guide and
has been a reviewer for TMS Responds. When possible, he assists TMS
at Code Hearings, speaking on behalf of many TMS proposals.
Dr. Richard E. Klingner routinely helps TMS in countless ways,
often assisting staff with technical inquiries, updating of
materials, and editorial and technical reviews. For the past several
years, he has single-handedly updated and revised our Design of
Masonry to the MSJC and IBC seminar series materials, and developed
simple design examples for the seminar series. This has allowed TMS
to instantly be able to offer these seminars once the newest codes
are available with little input or oversight needed by staff. This
is a tremendous help, and ensures the technical accuracy and
validity of these materials. Rich is worthy of a service award for
these efforts alone, but he also routinely assists with MDG
development as a Team Leader, with the Masonry in the Americas
Workshop as facilitator, and as an active and helpful member and
past chairman of numerous TMS Committees.
Christine (Tina) A. Subasic has been a tireless TMS volunteer
who has served in numerous ways to help build and grow the Society.
She has recently served on the TMS Board of Directors, serves on the
numerous committees including the Sustainability Committee, assists
with publication development as author of a Chapter of the Masonry
Designer’s Guide, serves as a reviewer on many publications, and
assists with seminar development and presentation. She is being
nominated for a Service Award, not only for these past efforts, but
also for her service in leading the development of the recent
Member/Nonmember Survey and for working with TMS staff to schedule
and develop seminars, that by all rights, she could do without TMS
and likely could profit even more from. But Tina routinely things of
TMS first, scheduling seminars through TMS, rather than presenting
them on her own so that TMS benefits in both positive exposure and
through nondues income. Tina is very deserving of a Service Award
for these efforts and for her continued positive assistance to TMS
staff in countless ways.
