Review the ATA Awards Committee Manual as it relates to criteria for the Ray M. Sommerfeld Outstanding Educator Award and the ATA Service Award.

Solicit nominations from the membership for the Ray M.

3

4

Arrange for the awards and presentation of awards by the committee chair at the Annual Program Luncheon

 

5

Develop appropriate methods for making arrangements to obtain the awards each year.  Consider alternatives if the artist is no longer able to create the sculpture for the Sommerfeld Award.

   

6

 

 

 

 

 

Update the ATA Awards Committee Manual and pass it on to the next committee.

NOTE: There is no requirement that either of the above awards be made every year. However, the decision not to make an award in a given year basically constitutes a decision by the current committee that none of the nominated/considered parties is currently qualified for the subject award. Such a decision should not be made lightly and is not binding on future committees. The Committee may impose additional criteria beyond those specified in selecting a single winner from a group of qualified candidates. However, such additional criteria should not be used to determine qualifications for the awards.

Consider how the efforts of this committee can increase the public persona of the ATA
