The Certificates of Meritorious Service are presented for service to the MAA at the national level or for service to a Section of the Association. The first such awards were made in 1984. At each August meeting of the Association, honorees from roughly six Sections are recognized. The 2024 nominee for the Indiana Section has been selected. The next turn for the Indiana Section will be 2029. The procedure for the Section's nomination of an individual for this national award is described at the MAA page for its Certificate of Meritorious Service.
