Mandate: Awards Standing Committee
To review the criteria for Awards that the Society may offer from time to time relying on national and international best practices.
To appoint, after consultation with the Executive, jurors for specific awards and to widely announce such awards, including in the Society’s publications and social media platforms and other relevant media.
To carefully consider if and when the Society should award Fellowship of the Society, and make recommendations to the Executive in this regard.
To ensure that the Society’s awards retain the requisite stature and quest for excellence. To this end, should there be doubts at any time about the offering of any award, this Committee shall deliberate on the matter and may suggest to the Executive that such award not be made at that time.
Members of this Committee or the Executive shall only be eligible for an award when a significant period of time has elapsed since their membership of these structures of the Society.
