Distinguished Service Award |

In 1975 the Michigan Section presented a special distinguished service award to Professor Lyle E. Mehlenbacher of the University of Detroit upon his retirement as chair of the Committee on Sections of the MAA. In 1977 another such award was presented to Professor J. Sutherland Frame of MSU for his long service and his numerous presentations at the Section meetings, including service as Section governor 1950-52, as governor-at-large of the MAA 1958-60, and as vice president and president of the Michigan Academy 1957-59. In 1981 a third such award went to Professor Edward A. Nordhaus of MSU for his long service to the Section, especially for his service on numerous examination committees of the MMPC. In 1986 the Michigan Section instituted an annual Distinguished Service Award. The first such award was to Professor Yousef Alavi of WMU at the annual meeting of the Section in May 1987. He received a special citation acknowledging his nearly 30 years of active participation and leadership in the Section, along with a special Michigan House-Senate Joint Resolution honoring his accomplishments. In 1989 it was decided to also present posthumous awards to the families of distinguished leaders in the Michigan Section who were deceased. The following Distinguished Service Awards have been made at the annual meetings of the Michigan Section: |

In 1984 the Mathematical Association of America established the MAA Certificate of Meritorious Service, to be given to members of the Association for distinguished service at the national level or at the section level. The sections were placed on a five-year rotating schedule, with each section having the opportunity to nominate one recipient of this award every five years. The Michigan Section had its first turn at the 1987 summer meeting of the MAA in Salt Lake City. The following members of the Section have received the MAA Certificate of Meritorious Service: |

The MAA established an annual Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics beginning in 1992. Sections are encouraged to present the award at their annual spring meetings. The awardees from all of the sections form a pool from which several will be chosen for the national Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award. The following Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics have been made by the Michigan Section: |
