Prior to the establishment of the MRS Woody White Service Award
 in December 2015, the MRS President presented a “Woody Award” to a volunteer that the president selected “in recognition of outstanding service and dedication on behalf of MRS as exemplified by Woody White, MRS President, 1984.”  In 2015, the Board voted to replace the prior Woody Award with the MRS Woody White Service Award.
