The Society for Advancement of Management has a proud tradition of recognizing individuals and organizations that exemplify excellence in leadership, innovation, and community impact. The Awards Committee is at the center of this tradition, playing a vital role in shaping how we honor those whose contributions make a difference in the field of management.
Serving on the Awards Committee means being part of a team that identifies, evaluates, and celebrates outstanding achievements within our community. You will help review nominations, ensure that criteria are applied consistently, and select honorees whose work reflects the highest standards of professional excellence. This process is both inspiring and rewarding, as it allows you to see firsthand the impact that dedicated individuals and organizations have on advancing the profession.
Your work will not only recognize exceptional achievements but also inspire others to aim higher. By telling the stories of our award recipients, you help showcase what is possible when commitment, creativity, and leadership come together. These stories encourage students, educators, and professionals to push the boundaries of what they can accomplish.
This committee is ideal for members who value fairness, attention to detail, and the opportunity to celebrate success. You will collaborate with fellow committee members to review submissions carefully, maintain historical records of past honorees, and ensure that each award reflects SAM’s mission and values. Your input will help shape the way we honor excellence and preserve the integrity of our awards program.
In addition to the selection process, the Awards Committee plays an important role in the presentation and promotion of awards. From planning the ceremony to developing ways to highlight recipients across SAM’s platforms, you will help create moments that make honorees feel truly appreciated. These celebrations not only honor individuals but also strengthen the bonds within our community.
Nominations for committee service are now open, and we encourage you to consider joining this meaningful work. If you believe in recognizing achievement, promoting high standards, and inspiring others through the power of example, the Awards Committee offers a fulfilling way to contribute to SAM’s legacy.
