The award said:
Presented to Dr. Arthur Sedgwick in appreciation of many years of service in support of the work of the APICS Computer Science Committee in particular, and the wider Atlantic Provinces Computing Science community in general. Those involved in the annual programming competitions sponsored by APICS and the ACM are especially grateful for the effort he has devoted to the mentoring of both student teams and problem judges, the often difficult task of problem collection and preparation, and the assurance of suitable environments for the conduct of the competitions.
There are many who have not known the Computer Science Committee without Art's presence, and will continue to be influenced by his contributions for many years to come.
Many thanks, Art!
