The Society’s highest honor, the William L. Robinson Award was established in 1970, and is created in memory of William L. Robinson, of Syracuse, New York. Robinson was a founding member of SPAAMFAA and the organization’s second secretary. He is remembered as a hard-working member who shunned the spot
light. He was a quiet, persistent officer who worked behind the scenes.
The Robinson Award, is presented annually to a member who has given the most to the organization, with the least recognition. The award is bestowed to the member or couple (excluding current officers) who have contributed to the spirit and goals of the Society in an outstanding manner, and who have done so in a quiet and unassuming manner.
