Purpose:
AECT's Special Service Award is the association’s second highest award and honors individuals who have provided singular/signature service to AECT as a whole, or to one of its programs, divisions or other association activity. Previous awardees have provided extraordinary service by revamping various functions of AECT; advocating and creating new initiatives; taking existing programs to a new level; serving a vital leadership role at a major juncture in the association’s history, etc.

Eligibility:
•  Nominee must be a current member of AECT.
•  Recipient may not currently be a member of the Board of Directors or the Awards Committee.

Review Criteria:
The impact and quality of the service as evidenced by supporting comments and documentation.
There is not a specific requirement for the timing, length or nature of the noted service.
