Some years ago the Orchid Society of NSW Executive decided to cast a medal designed to acknowledge extraordinary service to the orchid community. The medal was crafted as an extension of the Orchid Society of NSW logo and badge with an extra ring around the outside inscribed Meritorious Service Award.

By awarding only to the most deserving members, we ensure that the recipients of our prestigious Meritorious Service Medals continue to be given the honour and respect that they so rightly deserve. The medals are available for all Affiliated Societies of OSNSW at a maximum of one (1) per calendar year.

Medals are requested by contacting the Secretary by mail: 1 Wolsten Ave, Turramurra NSW 2074 or via Email. Information required for OSNSW records will be the name of the intended recipient, details of the recipient’s service which deserves recognition and a name and address for the delivery of the medal.  The Executive of the Orchid Society of NSW ask you to be mindful of the number of medals you award, and advise that they should be used to acknowledge workers/members who give extraordinary service to their society over many years.
