You have some very important questions about the program that I can answer for you.
1. The awards are decided at the schools, by the directors of the programs there. We are not involved at all in the selection of the recipient.
2. The awards are given at a special program decided by the schools, the ones I've done were at the end of the year, usually in the auditoriums.
3. Everything is done through the directors at the school and the awards committee chair. He gets the times and the location of the school and passes it on to the presenter.
4. All I've been asked to do is make the presentation. I name the award as being the SAR annual award, name the winner, and if necessary return the salute they give me. That’s all, no speeches or anything else. Afterwards, of course, there's all kinds of opportunity to talk about the SAR to the families who come.
5. Only ROTC awards. The chapter Presidents can make presentations as they need to. No involvement in that area.
6. Be my guest!!!! I'll CC this to the chair if he wants to expand (and he knows more than I do) he can. As soon as he notifies me of a presentation, any of you, or all if you want, can go with me. I'll email you when I know. Contact the chair directly, you don't have to come through me on this.
Thanks for your interest. This is a great way, as I said before, to get our members involved. I give presentations to libraries and schools about the Revolutionary War and just have a great time.
