We are delighted to announce our annual call for nominations and encourage you to apply for three very important awards: Excellence in Association Management, Positive Impact Award, and Points of Light Award.   

We have made these minor changes to the Awards Program -- self-nominations are acceptable for the Excellence in Association Management and Points of Light Awards, and the fee for submitting an application for the Positive Impact Award has been eliminated.

 

Below are the descriptions of those awards and applications on how to nominate a colleague or organization for these very prestigious honors.

 

Excellence in Association Management 

Past winners of this award have demonstrated vision and leadership in the field of Association Management through innovation, collaboration, and leadership.  Nominations should establish a candidate's exemplary skill in advancing both their association and the association industry.

 

Points of Light Award 

Volunteerism and community service exemplify the best in us: a sense of caring and responsibility for others, a commitment to service and a display of citizenship.  The Points of Light Awards is designed to honor an NJSAE member who has demonstrated a commitment to their community and the needs of others.

  

Positive Impact Awards 

Positive Impact Awards are presented to organizations that utilized original thinking to successfully implement a project/activity and produced a positive impact on the organization, its membership, and/or its vital communities.   

How to Nominate Your Colleagues, Staff or Organization  
All submissions must be sent electronically by October 1, 2008 to info@njsae.org.   

 

This year we are adding two more awards:

  The Emerging Leader Award will be presented to an individual who joined NJSAE no
  earlier than January 1, 2005 and who has shown enthusiastic involvement and leadership

  presented to a Professional, an Affiliate or an Associate Member.
