Circle of Distinction / Cercle de Distinction
In 2011 The Board of Directors of Les Guédry et Petitpas d'Asteur created the Circle of Distinction to honor members of the Guédry and Petitpas families that meet specific criteria and are selected by the Board.
The Board of Directors of Les Guédry et Petitpas d'Asteur will periodically select up to six (6) persons a year to the Circle of Distinction. Recipients will receive a Circle of Distinction Certificate and a Gold Medal. In selecting persons for the Les Guédry et Petitpas d'Asteur Circle of Distinction, the Board will use these criteria:
- The person must be a direct descendant of either Claude Guédry and Marguerite Petitpas or Claude Petitpas and Catherine Bugaret.
- Persons with any variation of the Guédry or Petitpas surname are eligible.
- The person through their work, their avocation or their life must have brought distinction to the Guédry or Petitpas name.
- The person may be living or deceased.
