The Professional Photographers of California Service Award was created to recognize members who are active within the organization, serving on boards and committees and helping with activities that are vital to PPC’s continuation. The Service Medallion is awarded to a PPC member of good standing (having been a member for 3 continuous years) that has earned 25 Service merits. The medallions are given out at the annual PPC Awards ceremony.
After earning the Service Medallion, a Service Bar is awarded for each subsequent 25 service merits earned, these are worn on the ribbon just above the attached Service Medallion.
The Service Medallion should be proudly worn by its recipient at all photographic functions and while making presentations to demonstrate continued efforts to improve your profession and the success of PPC.
