This unique and prestigious award was created by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association to honor past participants in the world of collegiate tennis, who have achieved excellence in a chosen career (outside the world of professional tennis), and in doing so, have made a special contribution to society. The ITA David A Benjamin Achievement Award has been made possible by a most generous endowment donation by Margie and Stan Smith, with the support of Rolex and the International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHF).

If you would like to nominate an individual to be considered as a potential nominee, all nomination form submissions must be received no later than March 30, 2018.

For any questions, please contact Rachel Dagen, ITA Director of Special Projects, at rdagen@itatennis.com.
