APS/CAC Awards

Every stamp club has a few "movers and shakers." They're the ones who really get things done, come up with new and fresh ideas and make it all look easy. All too often these people go unrecognized for their accomplishments and committment to your group. The APS Certificate of Award (also known as the "Sparkplug" Award) can be one way of saying thanks!

Criteria for Presentation

The American Philatelic Society will furnish upon request to the Executive Director a certificate of award to any APS Chapter without cost, with a limit of one per year, provided the Chapter fulfills the conditions listed below:

A. The certificate is used to recognize positive achievement of benefit to the presenting APS Chapter.
B. The certificate may be presented to an individual or an organization. Membership in the APS or the presenting Chapter is not required.
C. The Chapter will assume all expense and responsibility for inscribing the certificate and for its delivery.
D. The Chapter will give appropriate publicity to the presentation of the certificate.
E. The presenting Chapter will arrange for an appropriate presentation ceremony during a meeting of the Chapter unless circumstances require presentation elsewhere.
F. The presenting Chapter will notify the American Philatelic Society of the name of the recipient of the certificate and any pertinent details regarding its presentation.

If a Chapter desires more than one general certificate of award per year, additional certificates are available at a charge of $2.50 each.
