The USS Intrepid crew/chapter awards are internal recognitions established to celebrate the outstanding contributions, dedication, and community spirit of our crew members. While these awards are unique to the USS Intrepid and are not official STARFLEET International awards, they reflect our commitment to recognizing those who help make our chapter a welcoming, active, and enjoyable place to call home.
Awards may recognize exceptional leadership, community involvement, service, creativity, participation, mentorship, or other meaningful contributions to the chapter and its members.
