NJCPA Distinguished Service Medallion Recipients
The NJCPA Distinguished Service Medallion is awarded by the NJCPA president to individuals who have worked steadfastly to promote the values of the Society and are an inspiration to others.
The distribution of the medallions dates back to the first coin presented in 2009 by then president Robert Traphagen, CPA, CGMA, managing partner at Traphagen Financial Group LLC. The original idea relates to an Allied spy in WWII who showed the medallion as proof of his allegiance, which ultimately saved his life. NJCPA recipients must always carry the medallion with them.
