Non-profit associations rely heavily on their memberships to provide volunteer time and energy. Most cannot function well without it. The ACMG recognizes exceptional contributions made by individuals to the Association, as well as to the guiding/instructing profession, through the presentation of a Distinguished Service Award. In 2009, the ACMG began to recognize three levels of distinguished service: Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each of these represents successively greater contributions to the Association or the guiding community. Tom Wolfe (Silver) Scott Davis (Platinum) Todd Guyn (Silver) Rod Gibbons Jim Bishop Brian Spear Harrison, Diny Norrie, Paul Harvey, Peter Gould, Brian Sarrasin, Roger Klassen, Mark Davis, Scott Shokoples, Cyril Spear, Brian Stewart-Patterson, Iain: Yavorsky, Greg Andrews, Alison Mathieson, Brent
