The Minerva Service Award will be awarded to members of the Society who have made an outstanding contribution to the life and success of the Society.

Consideration is given to those who have played a leading role in the work of CSD and assisted it to achieve its objects under the Royal Charter.

The Society could not exist without the enormous contribution made by its members in undertaking assessments, mentoring, judging awards, serving on committees, etc.

This award has only been recently introduced and it is hoped to make the first award in 2005/6.
