changed:
-b. The Chairperson of the Allee Award Committee is responsible for having the certificate of award made out, authenticated, and given to the recipient. The Program Officer may have a supply of certificates.
-
-c. Judges. The selection of judges should be done early, well before the deadline for submission of papers for the annual meeting. This is necessary for several reasons. First, the Program Officer will have to assure that there are no conflicts between the time when the judges must serve and when they must give their own papers. Second, if it is necessary to rank order the contestants' papers, that must be done immediately upon receiving them. Third, it is difficult to get people to be judges so it is often necessary to go back a second or third time to find enough well-qualified individuals. Experience has shown that it is wise to have a mix of junior and senior individuals involved in judging. While there is no fixed number, a good combination is two junior plus two senior individuals. Judges should not have a conflict of interest; thus if the Second President-Elect has a student entered in the session, he/she should not take part in the judging. It might then be necessary to appoint enough judges to have an odd number in case of a tie.
b. Submit call for participants to Secretary for February Newsletter and to Central Office for website.
