Recognition of Service: Society Recognition Awards (SRA)

There are seven society awards that recognize PSA members for their contribution to photography and to PSA. They are presented during the Opening Meeting of the PSA Annual Conference.

The recipients of these awards are selected by the Society Recognition Awards Committee that is composed of five PSA members who serve five-year terms. The President appoints one member each year and the most senior member of the Committee is the Chair. The Society Recognition Awards Committee Chair reports to the Executive Vice President.
