AzGAB has instituted a new program that involves giving awards to any AzGAB member or member of an AzGAB society. There will be three different categories:

These awards will be presented to individuals and organizations on an annual basis. AzGAB members and AzGAB member societies may nominate individuals in any of the three categories. The winners will receive a complimentary registration to the AzGAB Workshop and be presented his/her award at the Workshop. A photo with their name will appear in the AzGAB Newsletter, plus a press release for the recipients’ local media outlets.

Selection Criteria:

1. The application should include a detailed description of the nominee’s contribution to the AzGAB genealogy community. This will be critical and have great influence in the selection process. Be thorough and assume the review panel is unfamiliar with the nominee’s unique work.
2. Length of service to the organization will be a deciding factor.
3. Copies of supporting materials or links to the materials may be submitted to strengthen the application. All materials submitted will be returned upon request.
4. Make a copy for your own files BEFORE submitting via e-mail.
