Nominations for APS Outstanding Volunteer Award Requested

The APS Councilor’s Forum is requesting nominations for the 2009 APS Outstanding Volunteer Award. This award recognizes individuals for excellent service in furthering the mission of APS through their volunteer efforts. The intention of this award is to recognize those volunteers in the general membership whose contributions are deemed invaluable.

APS members are encouraged to nominate individuals for this honor. Nominations may come from any entity within APS or APS member. Simply submit your nomination to the attention of the APS Intermediate Councilor-at-Large Mike Boehm as a PDF file by June 1, 2009. The nomination should be no more than one page. Include a description of your nominee’s recent volunteer activities (within the last 3–5 years, can be ongoing) and how the nominee excelled in the quality, timeliness, and/or scope of these activities. (Note: Current officers of APS are not eligible for this award. Senior editors and committee chairs are not eligible in their area of responsibility. The awardee must be a member of APS.)

The Councilor’s Forum will review the nominations and select the awardee. At the discretion of the Councilor’s Forum, more than one recognition may be given annually. The recipient(s) receive an APS plaque and will be recognized during the APS Annual Meeting by the APS president. If you have any questions, please contact Mike Boehm.
