Selection of an individual as recipient of the Industrial Veterinarian of the Year is the responsibility of the Awards Committee.
What is the Industrial Veterinarian of the Year Award?
The Industrial Veterinarian of the Year award was established in 1975 to recognize outstanding members of the Association. The basis of the award is to recognize outstanding service of an AACPPV member who has advanced corporate and/or public veterinary medicine, and has shown exemplary dedication to the veterinary medicine profession.
The nominee’s achievements can be in any area, and the accomplishment may be based upon a sustained effort or an extraordinary single achievement.
Who can nominate?
Nominees are solicited from the current AACPPV officers, Board of Directors, and the general membership. Nominees from the general membership are solicited through publication in the AACPPV newsletter and other methods of communicating with the AACPPV membership.
How do I submit a nomination?
Use the official nomination form here [printable pdf file] or the one provided in AACPPV’s newsletter or other publications. Submit your nomination on or before June 1, 2007. You can mail, FAX or email your completed nomination form to AACPPV.
How often is the award presented?
AACPPV solicits nominations on an annual basis. No award will be given unless two or more nominees are submitted for the year by the annual deadline. If only one nomination is received, that nomination will be updated and carried over to the next year for consideration.
Eligibility Criteria
Nominees must be either an active or life AACPPV member in good standing. All members in good standing are eligible to be nominated for the award. Nominees are asked to provide a biography that discusses their education, their career in veterinary medicine (including industrial/public veterinary medicine), accomplishments they wish to share, their participation in veterinary medical organizations, such as AACPPV, local, state and/or national associations, any public and community service involvement, and any work with charitable organizations.
How is the recipient selected?
Selection of an individual as recipient of the Industrial Veterinarian of the Year is the responsibility of the Awards Committee. The nominee selected by the Awards Committee is then presented to the AACPPV Board of Directors for approval. The award, if any, is presented at the AACPPV Annual Business Meeting, held in conjunction with the AVMA Annual Convention.
