The award is given to honor the recipient for their dedication and service to the party. On more than one occasion the award has been given to a group or more than one person to honor their combined efforts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The selection of the recipient has traditionally been the sitting chairperson of the party.</span><br />
