This article is in danger of deletion, partly because it lists so many awards without citations. Here is one award which can be returned (by a neutral, independent editor with no connection to the subject) to the main article page once sources have been found and added. (Quite honestly, Wikipedia is not LinkedIn and highly decorated individuals typically do not get to list every single award they've ever received in their Wikipedia biographies – only their most notable ones with citations.)

I have deleted this statement because it's unsourced, but also please keep in mind, Wikipedia is not Ancestry.com:
She became a member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in April 2017, tracing her blood lineage to American Patriots Asa Dains (CT) and John Sluts (MD).[citation needed]

Sorry, I am the culprit. I am Pamela Jo Howell Slutz and assumed that I, therefore, had "edit" privileges.
I have citations/sources for the following and would be happy to upload them to the page if provided directions on how to do so.
-- MIT Seminar XX1 Fellow 1988-89 (copy of pages from the Seminar XXI Directory of Fellows)
-- Recipient of the Mongolian Order of the Polar Star (photo of my framed medal and certificate)
-- Recipient of the ROC Order of the Brilliant Star (photo of my framed medal and certificate)
-- Member of NSDAR (copy of my DAR certificate) I am proud of this membership, but if you find it unacceptable for posting on Wikipedia, so be it. Pamtuya (talk) 18:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)Pamtuya (talk) 11:49, 10 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Pamtuya Hello Madam Ambassador and thank you for your response! Regarding the awards: The sources you have offered would be considered primary sources, and we have already cited the institutions that conferred the awards within the article (i.e., MIT, NAMBC, Hollins). What we are looking for instead now are a secondary source or sources that mention/confirm that you received those awards. For example, perhaps there is profile of you published by the U.S. government that mentions those awards within your biography? Or a State Magazine blurb that mention the award(s)?

Hello @Pamtuya. Thank you very much for checking. I think these sources duplicate what we have already cited in the article, but I've gone ahead and removed the "better sources needed" tags, as it seems we've now done quite a rigorous search for better sources, and while primary sources aren't ideal, per Wikipedia rules, we're still allowed to use them with care. (I believe the main reason the sources were tagged in the first place was because we were trying to upgrade and save the article from deletion during the review process.) Another editor may disagree, but I think everyone would agree that the article is in much better shape now overall, so thanks again for your patience throughout this process.
