Distinguished Service Award<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
This award (previously called the Lifetime Membership Award) is for those who have given exemplary service to seafarers\u2019 welfare over many years both within a local seafarers\u2019 ministry and in other local, regional, national, or international bodies. Nominees should be or have been in the past, a NAMMA member, part of a NAMMA affiliated agency, or a substantial partner with NAMMA in our programs. These awards normally will be presented at a NAMMA conference or meeting, but may also be presented online. Award recipients will be notified in advance of the meeting so that they can make appropriate preparation to attend.<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Volunteer Dedication Award<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
This award recognizes any volunteer (individual, couple or group) who has contributed significant service to a local seafarers\u2019 ministry. NAMMA affiliated agencies can nominate their volunteers for this award. Certificates will be mailed to the affiliated agency so they can, if possible, present the certificate to the volunteer(s) in person.<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t
