A permanent Committee was established to decide and select each year
winner. The committee shall consist of the four elected officers (President,
Vice?President, Secretary, Treasurer) during their tenure of office, the members
of the incumbent Board, and, at all times, the donor.
The Board of Governors approved that the original Vincent G Greene award
be housed for safekeeping in the National Postal Museum, there to remain the
property of BNAPS and that the annual winner receive a placque to this effect.

In accordance with the ruling of the Board of Governors (B.N.A. TOPICS)
March 1948, page 35) the elected officers, members of the incumbent Board, and
the Donor have each been canvassed for his selection of the best, second and
third best article or series of articles authored by a member or members of
BNAPS and published in B.N.A. TOPICS during the year.
In 1988 through the action of their Committee on Medals and Awards, the
Board of Directors have now "streamlined" the Vinnie G Greene award selection
process. The Editorial Board will first review all articles published during the
year and make a selection of those elegible. This list will then be circulated
to all Board members, who will then vote to decide the winner.
Based on a point system of 3 for for the first selection, 2 for the
second, and 1 for the third, the votes have been tabulated and result in the
following, and thereby the "Vincent G Greene Trophy" was awarded:
This award is given annually for the best article or series of articles
to appear in BNA TOPICS during the previous year. The winner is chosen by the
Board of Directors.
