Advisory Committee Recognition
The Advisory Committee Recognition Program honors Advisory Committee (AC) members for their tireless efforts in service to Alaska's fish and game resources. Awards are given out annually to current and former AC members.
About Excellence in Service Awards

- The service was unique, innovative, and commendable in the face of diverse opinions, and difficult or unusual circumstances.
- The service demonstrated leadership in conducting AC functions.
