The Paul W. Magnabosco Outstanding Local Section Member Award was established to recognize outstanding leadership and exceptional service to one or more Local Sections which has resulted in significant and demonstrable benefits to Local Section members. The award comes with a $2500 honorarium. Each final nomination must be endorsed by one of the TAPPI Local Sections. Individuals may submit nominations to the appropriate Local Section for their consideration.

被提名者必须是在当地科活动中具有杰出领导能力和卓越服务，并为科成员带来重大和可衡量的利益的个人。这些贡献可能是通过单一的活动，也可能是通过长期努力的积累。唯一的例外是，目前在任的主席、副主席、秘书或奖项委员会成员都不能被选为杰出地方小组成员。对离任的小组主席的表彰由过去的小组主席的牌匾提供。被提名人的贡献应体现在地方部门活动的具体改进上。Progress and improvement may be evident in such areas as:

• Management of the Local Section
• Special Local Section, or District projects or task forces.
• Public image of the Section, e.g., communications with members and potential members, general public, industry, government or academia.
• 各组的组织结构，包括指导手册、人员培训和操作程序。
• Number and involvement of members.
• Direct services to members and industry, e.g., publications, seminars, home study courses or standards.

All nominations endorsed by the Sections must be submitted before August 1 for the award to be presented in the upcoming calendar year. Individuals may submit suggestions for nominations directly to the appropriate Local Section. If an individual submits a nomination to TAPPI International Headquarters, it will be forwarded to the appropriate Local Section for their consideration to become its final nominee.
