AIAM Inc AWARDS

The Institute has three objectives in running its annual awards program:
- Recognising and applauding those who have contributed creatively and enthusiastically to improve Animal Management service delivery
- Providing a public (benchmark) record of personal high achievement
- Fostering a collegiate sense of mutual support within the Institute
The annual awards program is not really a competition in the usual sense. It is not about who comes from the biggest metropolis and nor is it about who has the biggest budget to work with. Importantly, it is not about winners and losers. This awards program aims to recognise dedicated people who do good work with the resources they have at their disposal.
Two awards are offered:
• Animal Management Officer of the year award
• Animal Management Plan of the year award
Please note:
- Nominations are permissible and welcome from the field of animal management in general and from any State/Territory
- Nominations will be judged by Institute committee members
- Nominations judged to be the best two in each category will be allowed the following:
- A 10 – 15 minute presentation in the general conference program
- Inclusion of the written submission in the conference proceedings
- Inclusion of the written submission on the Institute website
- Inclusion of an abbreviated version of the written submission in a subsequent Phoenix newsletter edition
- The awards for best in each category will be presented at the Institute's formal Awards Dinner Function which is generally held on the Thursday night of the conference
