2008 Award Nominations:
Employees at any AAUP member press can nominate a recipient. The nomination must then be seconded by at least one other person at a member press. Nominations should be done in the form of a letter to the Board of Directors and should outline the nominee’s qualifications for the award. Please address how the individual’s contributions have benefited the members of AAUP.

Qualifications can include:
• service on AAUP committees, task forces and the Board of Directors
• contributions to AAUP professional development programs (regional and annual meetings and workshops)
• work with other organizations on AAUP’s behalf

Nomination letters are due to the Central Office by January 16, 2008. Nominations carry over for one year. Individuals first nominated but not selected in 2007 will be considered for the 2008 award. Nominations will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the AAUP Board of Directors, and the final selection will be approved by the entire Board. The 2008 recipient will be announced at the AAUP Annual Meeting in Montreal.
