First, what is an honor?
An honor is a designation presented by a group to someone who has, through special effort, distinguished themselves in the eyes of the group.
ACCC has three honors.
They are Associate of the ACCC, Fellow of the ACCC and Honorary Fellow of the ACCC. Each successive title indicates more effort and thus greater honor. They are written after the holder’s name in capital letters. An example is, Nancy Sams, HFACCC.
Honor’s candidates are nominated by ACCC Club Delegate or ACCC Member Club Presidents.
The criteria are as follows:
- Service rendered to ACCC,
- Services and activities in the member clubs,
- Services to affiliated ACCC clubs and, finally,
- Actual achievement in the Art of Photography.
It is important for people giving service in these areas to keep some record to help should they be nominated. Selection is by the Honor’s Committee which has been appointed by the president.
The current members are Bernardine Ginsberg, Sandy Kwas, Lynn Thompson, and MaryAnn Rapp. The Chairman of the Honors Committee is John Frelich.
If you have a prospective candidate, let Honors Committee know as they will help with the nomination process. A new application form is now available that is only one page long and easy to use.
