The Professional Service Award is presented to an individual SOBA member or a group of SOBA members, often a designated task force or committee, for their outstanding service on a special project or ongoing efforts on behalf of SOBA. Periodically, SOBA establishes committees or task forces to work on special projects and issue areas. These groups may continue their work over several years before producing a final product. This award recognizes the individual or group effort on such projects completed on behalf of SOBA.
This award is presented at SOBA's Annual Education & Training Symposium.
