Current Committee members who are nominated for the award will be asked to either recuse themselves from the Committee or remove their nomination from consideration.
All nominees nominated for a given year’s award – who are not selected for that year’s award – will be automatically considered for the award for the following two (2) years. Therefore, nominees who were not selected for the 2018 AAA Outstanding Accounting Educator Award will be considered during the selection process for the 2019 Award and, if not chosen for the 2019 Award, will also be considered for the 2020 Award. At the end of the selection process for the 2020 Award, if a nominee has not been chosen as the award recipient or has not been re-nominated, he/she will no longer be considered for the award.
Select at most two recipients of the award based on the award criteria
