Representing decades of service in almost every type of volunteer role for Dartmouth College that exists—alumni class, club, and group leadership, enrollment interviewing, reunion planning, Alumni Council and Association of Alumni leadership, Dartmouth Outing Club leadership, fundraising, and other service—eleven alumni have been chosen by the Alumni Council to receive 2009–10 Dartmouth Alumni Awards and Dartmouth Young Alumni Distinguished Service Awards.

The council's Alumni Awards Committee, chaired by Mark Harty '73, chose nine alumni to receive the Dartmouth Alumni Award. The qualifications for the award, established in 1954, are long-standing and meritorious service to Dartmouth, career achievement, and other community service. Alumni are eligible after their 25th class reunion. The council's Young Alumni Awards Committee, chaired by Tracey Salmon-Smith '87, chose two alumni to receive the Dartmouth Young Alumni Distinguished Service Award. The qualifications for the award, established in 1990, are breadth, depth, and length of volunteer involvement. Alumni are eligible in the first 15 years after graduation.
