Section officers can start a Section award at any time. Make sure to create criteria for nominations and selection of the award before announcing it, and share the criteria and award description with AALS to be posted on your Section webpage. Tips: View your section’s bylaws and view other section pages to get an idea of their section’s awards.

The best way to announce Section award nominations and deadlines is through the Section discussion list. If you do not know your Section’s discussion list address, login to connect.aals.org.

Make sure to submit the names of Section award winners through the submission form, found on the Section officer resources page and sent to all Chairs and Chairs-Elect in the fall each year.

Order a plaque for your recipient, and designate a time and place at the AALS Annual Meeting to give out your award.

Each Section should order its own award to present at the annual meeting. AALS has suggestions for companies to order plaques from here. If you would like a plaque friendly AALS logo please reach out to [email protected].

Yes, award recipients may invite guests to a section award ceremony. AALS recommends inviting no more than 8 guests. Please let AALS know who those quests will be.
