Given previously to District Governors and Leadership Advisors, the Russell T. Roebuck Outstanding National Volunteer Award is now presented to a national volunteer who has performed exceptional service to the chapters he has advised. The effectiveness the volunteer has shown in working with chapters, new chapters and alumni groups is the primary criterion for receiving this award. The award is named for Russell T. Roebuck, Barton College ’58, who served the Fraternity as a member of the Grand Council and as National President.
