As
SASFAA Past President, I have the privilege of serving as the Chair of the
Awards Committee. The committee’s members are the elected officers of the
Association and we are charged with recommending award recipients to the SASFAA
Board for its approval. Because our next Board meeting is scheduled for
November 3 – 4, 2014 and the Awards Committee will need time to consider all
nominations and finalize our recommendations to the Board prior to November 3rd,
I am asking that any nominations for the awards listed below should be sent to
me by no later than Tuesday, October 14, 2014.
Distinguished Service Award
This is the highest honor
bestowed by SASFAA. Individuals honored with a SASFAA Distinguished
Service Award shall have made outstanding, significant, and meritorious
contributions to the advancement of student financial aid or the profession.
The awards committee, comprised of the elected officers of the Association,
shall be charged to consider nominees and recommend them for consideration to
the Board. Nominees must be approved by a two-thirds vote of Board
members present and voting.
Each recipient shall be
presented an appropriate plaque at the annual conference of the Association and
shall be entitled to honorary membership in the Association when the recipient
ceases to meet active membership eligibility requirements.
Honorary Membership
Honorary membership shall be awarded to persons who have demonstrated outstanding service to SASFAA and to the student aid
profession. Practicing financial aid administrators are not eligible to
receive this award.
All SASFAA past presidents and
Distinguished Service recipients who are no longer directly involved in the
administration of financial aid shall be automatically granted honorary
membership. Unless otherwise eligible, individuals nominated for honorary
membership must be approved by a majority vote of the Board members present
and voting.
Please send me your nomination
and a description of the service(s) the individual has contributed to
SASFAA. You can send the information to Zita Barree at zbarree@hsc.edu by no later than October
14th.
Thank You!!
