    譽滿香江藝壇數十載的汪明荃博士，除了在電視、歌唱及粵劇等方面有卓越成就外，更長期服務社會和國家，積極參與各項公共及社會服務、推廣藝術項目。她首先在1981年被選為「十大傑出青年」之一，再於1988年起榮膺第七屆至第八屆中國全國人大港澳區代表，於1998年起獲委為中國人民政治協商會議第九屆至第十二屆全國委員會委員。

    2004年，汪博士榮獲香港特別行政區行政長官頒授銀紫荊星章，以表揚其於演藝界的傑出成就、熱心公益的貢獻。2007年她再獲萬寶龍國際藝術贊助大獎 (香港區)。她又分別獲香港眾多大專院校頒授榮譽學位，以表揚及肯定她多年來對社會及藝術界所作出的貢獻。計有香港城市大學榮譽文學博士、香港教育學院榮譽人文學博士、香港演藝學院榮譽博士、榮譽院士、香港理工大學大學院士、職業訓練局榮譽院士等榮銜。

    汪博士現時擔任的公職計有香港防癌會執行委員會委員、香港八和會館主席及香港城市大學顧問委員會成員。眾所周知，汪博士於表演藝術的追求精益求精，孜孜不倦。她在百忙中仍肯出任香港理工大學本年度的駐校藝術家，實是本校師生莫大的光榮。
