There is still plenty of time to nominate a new records management professional for this new and exciting award before the deadline on Thursday 7th September.
Please consider nominating a new professional and encourage your peers to support the launch of this new award which recognises early career achievements and celebrates the valuable contribution which new professionals make to the record keeping professions.
Earlier this month the ARA Board announced that they are piloting a New Professional of the Year Award. The award is intended to recognise new professionals in the early stage of their careers who have made an outstanding contribution to the profession in the last 12 months (i.e. for 2017, evidence of outstanding contribution made in 2016 and up to the spring of 2017).
“Outstanding contribution” means one (or both) of the following:
• A direct and positive influence on the workplace, either as a volunteer or a professional. Examples could include (but are not limited to) delivery of a specific project, an innovation or changes to policy and process.
• An outstanding contribution to the record keeping sector as a whole, such as (but not limited to) advocacy and activism, a sector-related project, people development or innovative academic and practical workplace research.
The award is open to any ARA member who is a member of the Section for New Professionals. For more information on becoming a member of the Section please email [log in to unmask]
Nominations should be made by an established professional working in the record keeping sector. It should be noted that ‘self-nominating’ is not available for this award.
Process
Nominations should be made in the form of a brief statement (no more than one page) explaining how the nominee has demonstrated the criteria described above. These should be sent to [log in to unmask] Once the nomination has been accepted the Section will contact the nominator to confirm.
The deadline for nominations is midnight on Thursday 7th September.
The nominations will be considered by a judging panel comprising members of the ARA board, and Section for New Professional committee members. We will announce the winner in September and present the award at the Section AGM on the 6th October 2017.
