FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
LOS ANGELES — Earl R. Franklin, Vice President and Secretary at Cleveland-based Eaton Corp., was honored by The Society of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals as the winner of this year's Bracebridge H. Young Distinguished Service Award, given here on Saturday, June 25th.
The Society's Distinguished Service Award was established in 1988 to recognize persons who have rendered unusual or exceptional service, or service rendered over a period of years, that directly further the Society's goals in a significant manner. The award, which is determined by the Chairman and President of the Society, is the Society's highest honor.
The award was renamed the "Bracebridge H. Young Distinguished Service Award" in 1997 to honor Bracebridge Young, one of the five signers of the Society's Certificate of Incorporation when it was formed in 1946. In 1954, Mr. Young became the Society's president, and served the organization for 16 years. Society membership doubled to almost 2,000 during his tenure.
This year's winner, Earl Franklin, has served the Society with great distinction. He has been a panelist at National Conferences and Essentials courses from 1989 through this year. He served as his chapter's treasurer, secretary, vice president and president. Mr. Franklin has been on the Corporate Practices Committee since 1990, was a member of the Executive Steering Committee in 1999-2000 and served on the National Conference Committee in 2003-2004. As if all of that weren't enough, he served on the Society's Board of Directors from 1995-2000 and was the Society's Secretary in 1995-1997.
