AWVF Annual Recognition Awards - Nominations Due May 1,
2009
The Association for Women Veterinarians (AWVF) is
accepting nominations for its annual recognition awards: The Outstanding
Woman Veterinarian of the Year Award and the Distinguished Service Award.
Award nominations are due May 1st each year.
Nomination for Outstanding Women Veterinarian of the
Year (OWVY) is open to any woman graduate of an accredited
veterinary school. The purpose of the OWVY award is to recognize special
effort and achievement by a woman veterinarian in any area of veterinary
medicine, e.g., general practice, small animal practice, large animal
practice, research, laboratory animal medicine, public health, etc.
Nomination for Outstanding Woman Veterinarian of the Year should
emphasize professional accomplishments.
Nomination for the Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is open to
any individual (man or woman, veterinarian or non-veterinarian). The
purpose of the DSA award is to recognize special effort and
contributions of an individual to advance and improve the status of
women in veterinary medicine. Nomination for Distinguished Service Award
should emphasize contributions made to advance or improve status of
women in veterinary medicine such as contributions to professional
groups, state or local associations, Veterinary State Boards,
publications, etc.
The Judith Spurling Blue Ribbon Award is a non-competitive citation
and expression of thanks that is bestowed intermittently (not necessarily
annually) to honor an AWVF member who has demonstrated exceptional dedication
to the goals and mission of the AWVF. Nomination for the Judith Spurling
Blue Ribbon Award is open to anyone who exhibits the enthusiasm and
dedication personified by Dr. Judith Spurling. Dr. Spurling has been a
caring, hardworking, innovative private practitioner, who for thirty-five
years has taken the time to give steadfast support to women veterinarians
and veterinary students. Throughout those years, AWVF was fortunate to
find her ready to serve wherever needed: Secretary, Treasurer, President,
leader of fact-finding projects, organizer of events and booths, generous
recognizer of the accomplishments of others, and from time to time, our
office manager. The AWVF takes special note of those few women who held
this Association together in 1976 and rejuvenated it because, as Dr. Spurling
put it, “We thought we could give advice and support to the newer
members of the profession because of what we had lived through.”
