Each year WSO presents the Outstanding Service Award to a person who, over the years, has contributed so much to making WSO what it is today. Nominations can be submitted by any WSO member to the Past President and are then voted on by the volunteer nominating committee. The selected member is presented with the Outstanding Service Award plaque and Lifetime membership at the Convention Banquet.
