The Howell Watson Distinguished Service Award is the highest form of volunteer recognition given by SIOR. The award recognizes an individual's career of exemplary service to SIOR through exceptional volunteer leadership, participation and involvement in SIOR programs and activities, along with contributions to the industry.

Factors that may be considered in granting this award include leadership, integrity, service record, clear dedication to the principles of SIOR, and active participation at SIOR events at all levels.

Recipients will be selected based primarily on their service to SIOR. Other contributions, such as industry and community involvement, may be considered. Any member, including Retired, will be eligible. Past Presidents will be eligible only after they have been out of office for five years or more, and a major consideration will be their level of activity in, and contributions to, SIOR during the years following their presidency.

SIOR is accepting nominations for the Howell Watson Distinguished Service Award. Please submit your nomination by February 28, 2025. Nominations will be vetted by the CEO and senior level HQ Team. Final selection of a recipient rests solely with the Past Presidents Committee.
