Appie of the Year

The Chapter’s highest honor is awarded to an individual who gives selflessly for the good of the club and the chapter; a person who works tirelessly and often behind the scenes, organizing and leading in fact and by example.  The Appie frequently leads for more than one activity, has done so for many years, and has held multiple committee positions.  This person exemplifies what it means to be an AMC volunteer.
