MARAC Distinguished Service Award Committee
MARAC's Distinguished Service Award Committee is a standing
committee established by a vote of the membership at the Fall 2005 meeting.
Mission and
Goals
The purpose of the Committee is to recognize members who have made significant
contributions to the organization as well as to the greater archival
profession. It is the responsibility of the Committee to publicize the award,
and to encourage the membership to submit nominations for the award.
Operations
The Committee consists of four members: the immediate past MARAC Chair, who
serves as the Committee's chair, the MARAC Archivist, and two members elected
by the membership for one-year terms.
The Committee reviews the nominations submitted by the
membership and determines the award recipient. The Committee does not have to
make an award if in their collective judgment the individuals nominated do not
meet the criteria. Nominations and letters of support must be received by the
Committee Chair by February 16 each year.
The committee chair will inform the award recipient to encourage
attendance at the upcoming spring conference, where the award will be given, as
well as the MARAC chair and award sponsors, but there will not be a public
announcement until the conference business meeting.
The award recipient receives $250, sponsored by Metal Edge.
Nominations
Nominations can be made by any MARAC member using the Distinguished Service Award
Nomination form [doc]. The form should be returned to the committee chair
no later than February 16th of each year. Any member wishing to make a
nomination is strongly encouraged to provide additional letters of support for
the nomination, which may be sent with the nomination form or under separate
cover to the committee chair.
