2025 AWARD OF RECOGNITION NOMINATION

The AIHA – Alberta Section provides the opportunity for recognition of individuals who have contributed to advancing the occupational hygiene profession and/or Local Section. This award allows members of the Alberta Local Section to acknowledge our peers for going the extra mile.

The Alberta Local Section would like you to think about the contributions of your peers and nominate someone who has made a significant difference. Attached is a questionnaire that asks you to describe the contributions of that special person.

Award Criteria Suggestions:
Some examples of contributions that the Alberta Local Section recognizes:
  • Long-term service to the Local Section including the Executive;
  • Mentoring new entrants/professionals in the occupational hygiene field;
  • Educating/giving presentations about the field of occupational hygiene;
  • Enhancing the profession of occupational hygiene;
Note – a large number of years of service is not a mandatory criterion for award selection. The award is based on merit/contribution rather than purely years of service. Therefore, any local section member can be nominated and evaluated for their contributions.
Application Guidelines: 
  • Nominations must identify and explain the contribution the individual made;
  • You may nominate any Alberta Local Section member, other than yourself;
  • All nominations are treated equally and there are no “categories”;
  • The names of the nominator will be kept confidential;
  • The names of all nominees will be published;
  • The award will be presented at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
Please complete the nomination questionnaire by February 28, 2025
