DARRYL DAVIS RECEIVES
ANA GOVERNMENT SERVICE AWARD

The American Numismatic Association (ANA) presented its Out standing
Government Service Award to Darryl Davis on August 1 during the ANA
World's Fair of Money in Baltimore. First conferred in 1991, the ANA
Outstanding Government Service Award is presented to an individual working
in or retired from public service who has helped advance the interests of
the hobby.
Conventions manager for the United States Mint since 1996, Davis has
welcomed the public and collectors at more than 100 conventions. His
career at the Mint began in 1990, when he was hired as a customer care
representative. In 1993 he was promoted to marketing specialist, where he
experienced his first taste of trade and banking shows.
Says Davis, "In my 13 years with the United States Mint, I have
enjoyed meeting the public and helping them see what we are all about."
In presenting its Outstanding Government Service Award, the American
Numismatic Association expresses the sincere appreciation of its members
to Darryl Davis.
