The Awards Committee selects the annual recipient of the Trudeau Medal and the other ATS awards presented at the general awards session of the International Conference. The Committee periodically reviews and revises, as needed, the selection criteria for these ATS awards. It also provides oversight to the entire ATS portfolio of awards to prevent duplication and manage overlap.
Benchmarks, 2017-2018:
• Review policies and procedures for ATS awards and make recommendations and consider additional awards;
• Solicit nominations and select ATS Awardees;
• Seek ways to increase the number of nominees for those awards where there are few nominees (specifically consider mechanism for providing updates at IC Assembly business meetings and/or at Assembly Chair meetings; enhanced social media advertising; and, participation of Chair and Vice-Chair at the annual ATS Summit;
• Review the portfolio of ATS Awards and if necessary make recommendations to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors on possible changes to the portfolio;
• Engage Early Career Professionals: include 3-4 early career ATS members on the committee (working with ATS MITT Chairs and ATS Executive);
• Develop recommendations for Executive Committee as to how to enhance appeal and attendance at awards presentations (monitor attendance at newly programmed award ceremonies for IC 2017, and survey impressions of new formats from attendees and award recipients);
• Define criteria for awards to recognize member efforts to eliminate gender, racial, ethnic, or economic health disparities worldwide.
