[Asis-l] ALISE Norman Horrocks Leadership Award

[Louise Spiteri]

This award recognizes a new ALISE member who has demonstrated outstanding
leadership qualities in professional ALISE activities. This award addresses
a number of concerns relevant to the Association, including: the need to
attract new members and retain their membership as a lifelong commitment;
the need to develop and recognize those new members with outstanding
leadership qualities as future leaders of ALISE at the highest levels; and,
the need to recognize newer members for service to the organization rather
than limiting recognition at this stage to academic achievements.

 

What: One annual award of $500 (plus a certificate). In years when there is
no qualified and/or worthy applicant, the award will not be given.

 

When: The award will be given annually starting with the 2009 ALISE
Conference.

 

Who: This award is open to any ALISE member who has been a member for no
more than seven years (including years as a student member, if applicable),
at the time the award is given. An individual may only receive this award
once.

 

How: The award will be administered by the ALISE Awards Committee.
Nominations of eligible applicants should be made directly to the Awards
Committee by July 15.

 

Nomination packages must include: a letter of nomination (no more than one
page, single-spaced), describing the ways in which the nominee has
demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities in professional ALISE
activities (e.g., participation in SIG activities; organization of ALISE
conference events; service on ALISE committees; recruitment or retention of
other new ALISE members; etc.) and noting the date that the nominee first
joined ALISE; and, supporting documentation, including the nominee's current
CV and letters of support that address the criteria listed above.

Nominations will be adjudicated by the ALISE/Norman Horrocks Leadership
Award Committee. Results of the competition will be announced on or before
October 1.
