The Out­stand­ing Ser­vice Award rec­og­nizes the excep­tion­al ser­vice of an NVCA Direc­tor or NVCA mem­ber who has com­mit­ted an extra­or­di­nary amount of time, resources and ded­i­ca­tion to Asso­ci­a­tion efforts that in turn ben­e­fits the entire ven­ture indus­try. The ded­i­ca­tion has raised the vis­i­bil­i­ty of the indus­try to key leg­is­la­tors and reg­u­la­tors and helped to edu­cate them regard­ing the piv­otal role of ven­ture cap­i­tal to this economy.
