CSPA Awards and Nominations
Congratulations to the 2005 Award winners!
Professional
organizations play an important role in higher education by singling out and
presenting appropriate awards to individuals who have made meritorious
contributions. Since 1982, CSPA has
presented such awards at its annual conference.
The
following presents information on the recent history and description of the CSPA
Awards. You will notice that awards are not made each year, but are considered
selective and presented only when an outstanding individual is nominated.
CSPA Awards and Honors Nomination Procedures
We have a simple
process to encourage members to make nominations. A member may nominate an
individual for only ONE award. We are relying on the nominator to supply
supporting documentation. The committee will screen all nominations and conduct
appropriate background reviews. Campaigning
is not encouraged nor is the CSPA mailing lists or labels available for that
purpose.
The nomination
process usually begins in the late Spring and concludes early in the Fall
semester. The names of the
recipients will be announced at the Honors and Awards Banquet held at the Annual
Conference.
