The SLSA Lifetime Achievement Award

Recognizes a lifetime of significant, interdisciplinary scholarship or artwork that is exemplary of SLSA

The SLSA Executive Committee will each spring appoint a committee to seek and review nominations for the SLSA Lifetime Achievement award. Members of this committee will include a former President of SLSA, who will serve as chair, one currently serving member at large, and one other SLSA member. The Lifetime Achievement Awards Committee will send out an announcement asking members to nominate candidates whose significant, interdisciplinary scholarship or artwork is exemplary of SLSA. The committee members will nominate candidates and should collaborate on reviewing nominations from the membership to select a living recipient of the award or to decide not to make an award for that year. The Lifetime Achievement award will be presented at the annual business meeting.
