Purpose Statement

Since it is the policy and practice of the association to recognize and honor persons and organizations who have made special or significant contributions to the field of emergency management and have represented the profession well by their outstanding performance, the Awards & Recognition Committee will solicit nominations for awards, review nominations, interpret award guidelines, determine eligibility, and assist in the procurement and presentation of awards at the Annual Conference. This in no way precludes IAEM Councils or Regions from establishing their own awards.

Committee Meetings

The committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 1:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern time. View the 2020 Awards Committee schedule (members only).
