The photo shows Andy receiving his award from former Toastmasters International President Richard. E. Peck at the Toastmasters International Convention in Nashville, Tennessee last month. Andy shared about his interaction with TMI who had written the following:
The original email notification stated:

This award is presented in recognition of your outstanding achievements in representing the goals and ideals of Toastmasters International and is one of Toastmasters’ highest honors.
The wording on the plaque reads:

The citation as read out at the Hall of Fame started with:

They went on to list some of my roles, which I have added to as follows:
