Awards The CCPH Awards Program pays tribute to our distinguished colleagues and mentors in the public history field. CCPH grants awards in three categories. The Dave Byrd Certificate of Meritorious Performance and Promise award is given to an individual, organization, or agency accomplishing an outstanding contribution to the promotion of history. The Award of Distinction is granted to an individual, organization, or agency accomplishing long-term outstanding contributions, lifetime achievements, or dedication of career duties to promote history. The James C. Williams Award for Outstanding Service is a special commendation given to an individual, organization, or agency member of CCPH demonstrating professional excellence and long-term commitment to this organization. CCPH invites nominations for awards each year in the Spring, and generally we request that nomination applications be submitted by mid-Summer. Awards are presented during the Awards Luncheon at each year's annual conference. Use either of the following forms to nominate an individual or organization for a 2009 award: Form Fill-Word Format or Print and Fill-PDF Format.
