Oswald & James Jacoby Service Award
The Oswald and James Jacoby Service Award was established in 1982 designed to honor those volunteers who have worked diligently at the unit level and risen to recognition at the district level for many years of outstanding service. It is District 16's premier service award. The standing Awards Committee is formed from past recipients of the Oswald and James Jacoby Award. The chairman is appointed by the district president. The committee reviews information submitted on candidates nominated by units in District 16 and chooses an outstanding individual annually. The selection is kept confidential until presentation of the award is made at the Fall Regional in Dallas.
The criteria and instructions for the Jacoby Award are available on this web site. For more information, contact the Awards Chairman, Jerry Harrington:
