The Parker Service Award was established in 2004. It is given to individuals or groups who have demonstrated over an extended period of time outstanding contributions to the Arkansas Audubon Society, its adjuncts, development, and goals.
The Parker Service Award is presented by the President at the spring convention. A committee comprised of the two most recent recipients of the award, plus two Arkansas Audubon Society members appointed by the President, will select the recipient of the Parker Award. The award will be granted to members who have, over an extended period, provided exceptional service to AAS. While the award may be given less often than annually, it may not be given more than once a year. Any member of the Society may submit a suggestion to the President, who will transmit the submission to the committee.
