J. Paul Melanson Award

The J. Paul Melanson award is named in honor of the founder of the National Association of Campus Card Users.

The award is given to members of the college and university community and campus card corporate members who have spurred the growth of the campus card industry, been pioneers in campus cards, significantly and freely helped NACCU members to implement or advance systems on their campuses, or been instrumental in the growth and stability of NACCU. Award recipients will receive a plaque, and the award will be announced at NACCU's annual conference.

Nominees and recipients will be identified by the NACCU Board of Directors at their discretion and the award will not necessarily be given every year.
