History of the CSA Distinguished Service Award
The California Society of Anesthesiologists created a Distinguished Service Award Committee in January, 1974. The award was established for recognition of distinguished and meritorious service by members of CSA.
The Committee is made up of the five past presidents immediately preceding the immediate past president. Nominees are selected by the District Directors, who forward their nominations to the Committee. The Committee then decides which nominee is presented to the House of Delegates for approval. Nominees are typically members who have demonstrated outstanding and meritorious service to the Society. These services may be of civic, political, educational, clinical or research nature.
