The Irving T. Marsh Award is considered one of the highest honors the organization bestows. It is given annually to one or two members who, in the opinion of the membership and Executive Board, has exhibited excellence in the field of athletic communications. The awards are presented annually at the spring workshop. First presented in 1966, the awards are named after Irving T. Marsh, the ECAC Service Bureau founder and director until his retirement in 1973.
After honoring one person from 1966 through 1990, the Marsh Award was expanded to its present format in 1991.
Nominate here.
