2021 ADS Region 5 Service Award
In 1974, the AHS Board established this award for outstanding service to AHS at the regional level. Currently serving board members are not eligible. However, Serving Regional Presidents are now eligible to be nominated for these awards.
Only one AHS Regional Service Award may be awarded per region per year. A dual award for two members of the same family counts as one award. An AHS member will only be eligible to win a Regional Service Award once. Nominations may come from any member of the nominee's region. Nominations must be sent to the AHS Awards & Honors Chairman by September 1st by mail or email, and must contain a summary of the nominee's worthiness for this award. The AHS Board votes by secret ballot at the annual fall board meeting, and the award is presented at the following AHS National Convention.

Bruce and Kathy Fowler were the recipients of the Region Service Award for Region 5. Bruce and Kathy Fowler are active members of the Valdosta Hemerocallis Society. Kathy serves as the club reporter and secretary, and Bruce is the current President. Both do whatever is necessary to support all their club activities. Among the many services they do includes plant donations, help with their annual daylily show, and provide programs for their club and other Region 5 clubs. They occasionally host club meetings in their garden. Their garden has been on past Region 5 and local tours. Kathy was the Chair of the 2022 Region 5 Spring Regional and the primary spokesman for motivating their local club to host this upcoming meeting. Bruce and Kathy Fowler attend all yearly Region 5 meetings and each AHS National Convention and make plant donations as requested. They have been speakers at the Spring Regional Meeting and have made presentations to many clubs, both Region 5 and out of state. Bruce and Kathy Fowler are a splendid example of embracing the notion that where service is concerned, it’s their job—whatever “it” is. When you think of AHS Region 5 and service, their name should be at the top of the list. Congratulations to this outstanding daylily couple.
