Lifetime Distinguished Service Award, in honor of Tom Lyndon

The Lifetime Distinguished Service Award recognizes outstanding long-term volunteer service to NELMSC. This award remembers Tom Lyndon, who served as NEM president from 1977 to 1990, was the editor of the NEM newsletter from 1996 until 2002, served as the NEM-LMSC Chairman from 1998 to 2003 and on a number of USMS National Committees from 1989-2006. Tom Lyndon was considered to be a “Super Volunteer”. This award is to be presented to individuals who have given outstanding volunteer service to NELMSC over many years, and through this level of volunteerism, have promoted Masters Swimming at the club, NELMSC, and national levels.
