[Oasfaa] Nominations for OASFAA Awards

[David Barron]

OASFAA members,

 It is that time of year again, to honor those who have contributions to
the association and to the profession with the following awards. Please
review the award criteria and submit nominations for each award to me as
soon as you can. The recipients will be announced at the Spring
conference.

 

*         Philo Brasher Emerging Leadership Award:

This award was established by SWASFAA in honor of Philo Brasher who
served many years in the association. The OASFAA Board of Directors
selects a member, which is announced at the spring conference.  The
recipient should be an individual that has served OASFAA and made a
contribution to the Association.  OASFAA will pay the registration fee
to the SWASFAA annual conference on behalf of the Oklahoma award winner.
OASFAA will also match the $250 that SWASFAA donates to the general
scholarship fund of the recipients' school.

 

*         Honorary Membership Award:

Honorary Membership in OASFAA is the highest honor that the Association
can bestow on a person who is neither a member nor affiliated with a
member organization. Since this is the highest award that OASFAA can
give, the individual receiving it must have made truly outstanding
contributions to the Association and to the profession over a sustained
period of time. It is not expected that honorary membership will be
granted in recognition of a single accomplishment, but for continued
efforts over a period of time. Honorary membership will be conferred
only with the approval of the majority of the Board of Directors.
Honorary members are extended the same membership privileges as
Associate members.

 

*         Distinguished Service Award:

This award is intended to recognize a practicing student financial aid
professional at an institution. He/she should have contributed unique
and long lasting efforts to the association, the profession, or the
cause of financial aid in Oklahoma. In general, presentation of the
awards will occur at the spring conference of the association.

The following guidelines should be observed in selecting recipients of
the award:

1.            A solicitation for nominees for the award should be made
to all members through a posting on the OASFAA website and through the
listserv.

2.            Nominations must be made by active members and must be
supported by two other members of the association.

3.            Only active members of the association are eligible for
nomination.

4.            The Advisory Committee shall evaluate nominations for the
award and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors has the final decision regarding the selection of recipients.

5.            No current member of the Advisory Committee or voting
member of the Board of Directors is eligible for the award.

 

Please e-mail your nominees for the Philo Brasher, Honorary Membership,
and Distinguished Service Award, to me with the reasons you believe the
person should be chosen to receive the award.

If you have any questions please let me know.

 

 

Thanks and have a great day,

 

David Barron
