Call for nominees for a MAC Award – deadline extended to July 20, 2020
It is time again to solicit your nominations for awards to be presented at the next annual MAC meeting, hopefully this October 18-20 in Pittsburgh, PA.
The deadline for submission of nominations is extended to July 20, 2020. This is how we can recognize our colleagues who have made significant contributions to the health sciences and medical librarianship.
We encourage you to think about who in MAC/MLA might merit public recognition through an award. It really doesn’t take a long time to nominate someone. We ask for only a page or less that describes how the nominee meets the award criteria listed at https://macmla.org/awards/.
If you have an idea of someone who might merit an award, please consider submitting a nomination.
You can access the award descriptions and criteria, along with the names of past awardees on the listing below:
- MAC Award for Professional Excellence by a Health Sciences Librarian
- MAC Award for Professional Excellence by a New Health Sciences Librarian
- MAC Award for Outstanding Health Sciences Library Paraprofessional
- Marguerite Abel Service Recognition Award
Colleagues who submit a nomination will be entered in a drawing for a free one-year MAC membership.
Members may also self-nominate for any of the awards with a letter of support from a supervisor or a colleague.
Questions? Please contact Nedelina Tchangalova at nedelina@umd.edu.
Many thanks for your timely nominations!
Sincerely,
MAC/MLA Honors & Awards Committee
