Award for Distinguished Achievement and Leadership in Nonprofit and Voluntary Action Research
This award is given annually for significant and sustained contributions to the field through research and leadership. Nominees must have demonstrated outstanding achievement(s) in the field of nonprofit and voluntary action research and/or significant leadership achievements in the advancement and promotion of such research over an extended period of time. In addition to significant contributions to research, a nominee's contribution to leadership may be considered. Nominees need not be members of ARNOVA. Those interested in nominating someone should submit a letter of nomination and curriculum vitae for the nominee. A second nomination also is required for the award. The second nominator submits a letter of nomination (a maximum of two pages). Either the nominator or the second nominator comes from a different institutional base rather than that of the nominee, and at least one is a member of ARNOVA. Self-nominations are not considered.
Nominations should take the form of a letter submitted (uploaded) at
awards@arnova.org.
