Samuel Mellor Award
The citation honors the memory of NPPA's second national treasurer
(1948-1950), who set an example of devotion to NPPA ideals. The award
is given to the regional associate director (formerly regional
secretary-treasurer) judged most outstanding in the performance
of his or her duties. Presentation of the award was resumed in 1983
after a seven-year hiatus. Samuel Mellor was a photographer for the
New York Post until his death in 1954.
