RE: NOMINATIONS FOR THE NATIONAL DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
Every two years, we look for brothers deserving of the National Distinguished Service Key, our Fraternity’s highest award. This award recognizes individuals who have made a unique and significant contribution to the Fraternity on a national level. Normally, this contribution would be above and beyond the general duties of their APO volunteer roles.
Presentations are made at the National Convention upon the recommendation of a special committee of past recipients of the award.
For nominations, please prepare a detailed written statement as to why you feel your nominee should be considered, taking into account the above criteria. Send your nomination to me in care of the National Office to executive.director@apo.org.
The deadline for nominations is November 15, 2025.
We look forward to recognizing our next class of NDSK recipients during the upcoming convention. Thank you for your consideration of nominees.
