Distinguished service award

From time to time the Board of Directors of the Friends of The Chico State Herbarium awards its Distinguished Service Award to a person who has made great contributions to the Herbarium. This selection is made to recognize contributions to the Herbarium on a number of different levels, from volunteer service to dedicated employment, to management support. Each awardee is honored at the Annual Meeting, and receives a piece of original plant-oriented artwork and a congratulatory plaque to go with it.
