The goal of the AADR Presidential Citation is to acknowledge an AADR member or members (up to 3/year), including individual members, Corporate and Institutional Section members, who by the assessment of the AADR President, have made significant contributions to the Association over a period of time, shown dedication to the Association; and have helped to further the mission of the AADR through their service and commitment.
The current AADR President recommends a member or members for the AADR Presidential Citation, which is to be considered distinct from the many awards and other honors that the AADR bestows annually.
