DACOR offers three awards to recognize those who have made signification contributions to the Foreign Service, foreign affairs generally, and DACOR and the DACOR Bacon House Foundation.
DACOR awards the Foreign Service Cup each year on Foreign Affairs Day. The award goes to a retired FSO who had a distinguished Foreign Service career and has made significant post-retirement contributions to the broad field encompassed by the term "foreign affairs." It is DACOR's highest honor.
