The LSAC Distinguished Professional Award is presented to an LSAC professional member who has worked in the learning specialist industry for six or more years at the time of nomination, and who also has contributed to the profession over the course of the nominee’s career.
The nominee may be either a full-time or part-time employee. The nominee must have demonstrated either leadership (by developing effective programming or services) or innovation (by developing or improving tools, materials, or research that can be used outside their own institution) that resulted in an impact to further student success.
The nominee must have also been actively involved in LSAC, for example, through presentations, volunteering, sitting on committees, or serving on the Board of Directors.
The nomination may come from anyone. Nominations require two letters of support: one from a professional member of LSAC, and one from the nominee’s supervisor or equivalent.
