NIRSA National Service Award
Nominations are due September 16, 2011
Service is who we are and what we do as collegiate recreation students and professionals. We all know colleagues who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their NIRSA volunteer service.
The NIRSA National Service Awards (NSA) annually recognize up to six professional members and up to three student members for their outstanding contributions, made during the previous year, to NIRSA and the field of collegiate recreation. Help NIRSA set the standard of excellence in professional and student achievement by acknowledging their exceptional performance, dedication, creativity, and innovation with a nomination for the 2012 National Service Award.
Presented during the NIRSA Annual Conference & Recreational Sports Expo., the awards will be conferred on individuals who demonstrate exceptional performance, either in one-time or cumulative efforts, made during the previous year of nomination in one or more of the following areas:
- Significant contributions and involvement in leadership and development of NIRSA programs, policies, publications, affirmative action goals and objectives, or the Association's administrative or financial structure;
- Significant contributions made to the association that directly impact a NIRSA sponsored national or regional conference, workshop, tournament/event; accomplishment of a NIRSA endorsed special project/assignment or work assigned to a NIRSA committee; or service in a student leadership role within NIRSA; or
- Significant contributions made to the Association in the form of written publications, presentations or research.
Not only will winners be acknowledged with a handsome plaque during the awards ceremony at the NIRSA Annual Conference, the names of the award recipients will also be recognized in the NIRSA KNOW and other NIRSA Annual Conference materials.
