Nominees who have made significant contributions and services to CALA and the advancement of Chinese American librarianship will receive special consideration. This Award is one of the highest and long-standing recognitions given by the Association. All candidates will be evaluated equally regardless of age, gender, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or length of service to the profession. The nominee must be a current CALA member in good standing, and no individual member may receive the award more than once.

The recipient of the CALA 2025 Distinguished Service Award will be announced by CALA President.  The recipient will receive an award certificate and $1000.
