Recognition for Outstanding Special Service to the IPA


Purpose:


From time to time the Executive Committee may wish to recognise work carried out on a voluntary basis for the good of the IPA. This recognition may be for the efforts of an IPA Member. This recognition is not intended for the work of Committees or Board members, but for those who have not been officially appointed or elected to carry out the role for which they are to be recognised.

Recommendations for recognition: Recommendations for this kind of recognition may be suggested to the Prizes and Awards Nominating Committee by any IPA Committee Chair or Board Member or recommendations may be solicited by the Committee at any time. The Prizes and Awards Nominating Committee recommendations should be supported by information regarding the work that has been carried out.

Selection: The Prizes and Awards Nominating Committee will consider all proposals received using various assessment criteria established by the Committee. All proposals recommended by the Committee will be forwarded to the Executive Committee for final decision. The Board will be informed of all such recognitions.
