Citation Award Rules

Introduction

The Citation Award is very much the 'members award' - its main function is to provide a means whereby a branch can obtain formal recognition for a long-serving member who is held in particularly high regard because of a long period of outstanding service to the Institute.

The award is above all a measure of the esteem in which the nominee is held by his colleagues and made in the true spirit of Institute fellowship.

Rules

1. The award is not normally given to members of less than 20 years' standing, during which time the nominee should have been a regular supporter of Institute activities, often having undertaken a long period of service on a branch or other committee.
2. The award is not available to those who have held senior honorary office - President, Deputy President, Vice President, Chairman of Council, or Chairman of a Council Committee - nor to those who have been elected to Honorary Fellowship.
3. All awards are administered by the Policy Committee and nominations should be submitted to the Secretary by 31 December for consideration the following year.
4. The nomination must be made in confidence without the knowledge of the individual concerned and it is therefore recommended that the Secretary be approached for advice before a written submission is made.

Citation Award Recipients

The Citation Award scheme was approved by Council in 1979 and the first award was made the following year. Recipients of the Award are listed below:
