Message from the Awards and Recognition Committee Chair

It’s hard to believe the AAFCS award, grant, fellowship, and scholarship program has come so far since the Board decided in late 2006 to approve a one-time project to study and streamline all processes of the program. At that time, applications and nominations were being collected by snail mail; now, most are online. This gives submitters more time to complete their work, creates an electronic “receipt” for each submission, requires less labor than processing paper, and provides jurors with instant access to their work. . .More
