Bruce E. Rallis Regional Service Award

Bruce Rallis served as the President of the Phi Lambda Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Central Piedmont Community College in 1994-95 and as the Carolinas Region President in 1995-96.  His most dedicated concern in these two positions was the encouragement of service as an extremely vital part of the work of all Phi Theta Kappa chapters.  Bruce died in 1997; the Phi Lambda chapter would like to honor this remarkably generous man in the establishment of the Bruce E. Rallis Regional Service Award.  This award is presented each year at the Regional Convention to the chapter which has accomplished the most outstanding service project during the preceding year. The winning chapter is presented with a plaque and a check for the cost of one registration to the Phi Theta Kappa International Convention.
