Staff Recognition Awards

 

Staff recognition awards were instituted in 1999 to recognize service as an AAVSO staff member. Awards are in increments of five years. Prior to 1999, a special award of recognition was given by the AAVSO Council, members, observers, and staff to Director Janet A. Mattei in 1983, 1993, and 1998 in appreciation of her 10, 20, and 25 years, respectively, as Director.
