The ARLIS/NA Applauds Award was established to honor outstanding achievements by an individual member or group in the preceding calendar year.   The inspiration for this award was the extraordinary work of the first recipients, Carol Ng-He and Claire Payne, for their role in recasting the 2020 annual conference as an entirely virtual event.

The 2021 award is your first opportunity to recognize a fellow ARLIS/NA member (or a group of up to five members) who has stepped up to significantly advance the work of the Society.  The forthcoming nomination form will ask you to describe the exceptional contribution of your nominee(s) in one or more of the following ways:

* Participating in ARLIS/NA special projects;

* Dedicating extraordinary time and energy to committee or advocacy efforts;

* Advancing DEI initiatives;

* Responding effectively or creatively to an unforeseen or urgent need of the society;

* Contributing innovative or creative ideas to the profession;

* Performing extraordinary volunteerism on the society’s or profession’s behalf;

* Promoting the society’s professional values.

Eligibility: Nominees must be ARLIS/NA members in any membership category.

Current members of the awards committee or Executive Board are not eligible to make or receive nominations.

Recognition:  Each award recipient will be recognized at the society’s annual conference convocation and receive a one-year complimentary individual membership to ARLIS/NA as well as a certificate of appreciation signed by the ARLIS/NA President and awards committee chair.

The deadline for nominations will be January 17, 2022.   We'll send another email as soon as the nomination form is available.
