About the Awards for Excellence

The Awards For Excellence In Community Service were established in 1981 on behalf of the trustees of the Dallas Historical Society by Ms. Lindalyn Adams, President of the Society at that time. Outstanding individuals are selected for this honor from nominations solicited from the Dallas community. The recipients are chosen for their contribution to the quality of life in Dallas in eight categories: Arts Leadership, Business, Creative Arts, Education, Health Sciences, Humanities, Philanthropy, and Volunteer Community Leadership.

In 1991, Dallas celebrated the city's 150th anniversary with Jubilee Dallas! co-sponsored by the Dallas Historical Society. In the spirit of this celebration, the Jubilee History Maker Award was established to honor those whose gifts of self have enhanced the quality of life in Dallas in more than one category of civic leadership.

The Awards For Excellence selection process is an editorial statement on behalf of the Dallas Historical Society that the designated recipients are deserving of recognition for their generosity of spirit, civic leadership and ability to encourage community-wide participation in a particular phase of the growth of this city. Awards are not voted posthumously, and all recipients accept their awards in person.
