Chapter Service Awards
Rodney Adair Memorial Award

More than twenty years ago, Rodney Adair left Oregon Columbia IABC with a legacy of active membership and dedicated service. After he died tragically in a car accident, the chapter created the Rodney Adair Memorial Award in 1980 "for sustained and exceptional service to the association and for professional advancement." This is the highest honor our chapter can bestow to a member.
