The Rotary Club of Glens Falls presents three awards annually: Citizen of the Year, Rotarian of the Year and Charter Day Award. The criteria for these awards is as follows:
 
Citizen of the Year - this award is given to a non-Rotarian who exemplifies Rotary ideals of service in the local and regional community (Glens Falls/Queensbury/Warren County). The person's professional and personal ethics are also considered.
Rotarian of the Year - this award is presented to a current member in good standing of the club (who is not on the Board of Directors at the time) who exemplifies the ideals of Rotary by their outstanding service to the Club.
Charter Day Award - This is the highest and most prestigious honor to a Rotary member in good standing who has served the club, district and community in outstanding ways, bringing distinction to our club and to Rotary. The honoree exemplifies the ideals of both the club and of Rotary, and may be a current member of the Board. This award has been a club tradition since 1966.
