We are delighted to open the call for nominations for the Spirit of POD Award. This award recognizes POD members who make significant, long-lasting contributions to POD members, the organization as a whole, and the educational development profession. Recipients should reflect some combination of the attributes below, but may also contribute positively in other ways:
1. Serving the organization and its members through steady participation in POD in more than routine ways;
2. Sharing knowledge, experience, materials, ideas, and support freely with other POD members;
3. Exercising innovative leadership in the organization;
4. Exemplifying the philosophy, principles, and practices of POD, such as generosity of spirit, kindness, compassion, sincerity, and civility;
5. Contributing substantially to the profession of faculty, instructional and organizational development;
6. Being actively involved in POD for at least 10 years.
New this year, nominations will be taken through an online form found via the Spirit of POD Award WikiPODia site: https://sites.google.com/a/podnetwork.org/wikipodia/pod-2012-conference/spirit-of-pod-award . The nomination deadline is Friday, September 28, 2012. Further details appear on the WikiPODia site.
We are also asking that nominators solicit and include examples from other POD members as part of the nomination to demonstrate a convergence of evidence. Such solicitation should not be done via a public venue such as the POD listserv since the identity of any recipient is kept secret until the banquet at the annual conference. Given the nature of this award, self-nominations are not accepted.
Please send any questions to Donna Ellis, Spirit of POD Award subcommittee chair, at donnae@uwaterloo.ca .
Thank you,
The Spirit of POD Award subcommittee members
