Ben Williamowsky Meritorious Service Award
This award is presented to an Alpha Omegan in recognition of exceptional and effective service to the Society. It honors those whose dedication, leadership, and commitment have significantly contributed to the strength and success of Alpha Omega.
About the Award
Over the years, one of the most significant factors in the Society’s success has been the dedicated interest, responsibility, and actions of many of its Fraters. To honor Alpha Omega’s most outstanding members, the Meritorious Service Award was created as a tribute to those who have gone above and beyond in their contributions to the Society.
In 2019, the International Council voted to rename this award to the Ben Williamowsky Meritorious Service Award, recognizing his lasting legacy and impactful service to Alpha Omega.
