Awards

March Fong Eu Achievement Awards

Named in honor of former California Secretary of State March Fong Eu, the Award was conceived in 1979 and presented to Eu that year for her extraordinary leadership in spearheading enactment of progressive Notary reform legislation, despite opposition from powerful lobbies who preferred lower notarial standards. Today, the March Fong Eu Achievement Award goes to recipients whose efforts led to creation or implementation of a new law, program or policy with a significant beneficial impact on the Notary office.
