The Gesneriad Society instituted the Awards of Appreciation in 1977, to recognize those individuals who activities had benefited the Society in one or more exceptional ways.
A number of factors are considered when choosing a recipient of an Award of Appreciation.
Among them are the individual’s length of service to the Society, the importance of the service rendered by the individual, the individual’s service as a chairperson of one or more committees, work by an individual in behind the scenes activities, consistent contributions of gesneriad articles for publication by an individual and other activities which benefit both the Society and the world of
gesneriads.
