The NASSS Service Excellence Award is awarded at our annual meeting to an individual who has offered distinguished service and long time contributions to the organization (NASSS), and/or the area of the sociology of sport more generally.

Please submit—in the form of a letter—a one to two page statement on a nominee whom you believe is a worthy recipient of this award.  The letter should describe in some detail the reasons why NASSS should recognize the recipient.

Criteria may include, but is not limited to:

• service to NASSS as an organization
• scholarly impact on the field through the discipline of the sociology of sport
• political and/or practical impact upon practitioners and scholars within the field

Process:

• Nominations may be submitted by an individual, or jointly by a group of individual NASSS member(s).
• It is not required that the nominee or recipient be a NASSS member.  Nor is service to the organization as an elected officer a sufficient or required criteria.

Please submit nomination letters to Cheryl  Cooky, the Chair of the 2017 NASSS Service Excellence Award Selection Committee.  You can also email Cheryl for further information: nassspp@purdue.edu

The Committee, which includes two former award winners, look forward to reviewing the nominations.
