The Fred and Rosalee Oakley Certificate of Merit is presented periodically by the AGS Board of Trustees to individuals and groups that have helped to advance the mission of the Association. The award consists of a certificate, presented by the Board of Trustees, as well as the gift of a book to the honoree's local library, in his or her name on behalf of AGS. Whenever possible the award presentation will be made by a local AGS member. Each year's recipients will have their names printed in the conference program book and annual report. In addition, they will be acknowledged at the Awards Reception at the annual conference.

We are seeking 2024 Oakley and Forbes nominations. Deadline December 1, 2023.
