AMP Meritorious Service Award

The AMP Meritorious Service Award recognizes an AMP member for particularly estimable service to the Association. The Recipient has demonstrated exceptional dedication and effort, over time and often behind-the-scenes, to provide invaluable service to AMP and its membership. In addition, the Recipient generally provides especially notable service to the molecular pathology profession.

The Meritorious Service Award is distinct from the AMP Jeffrey A. Kant Leadership Award in that it recognizes meaningful service to AMP by members at any stage of their career, including valuable contributions that may take place behind the scenes rather than through prominent leadership roles.

Eligibility Criteria

The recipient must have been an AMP Regular or Emeritus member in good standing for at least the previous 5 years. The service being recognized is ongoing or is recently concluded.
The nominee cannot be a current member of the AMP Awards Committee.

Nominations

Nominations are sought from the Regular or Emeritus membership with final recommendation to the Board of Directors by the AMP Awards Committee.
Nominations are accepted year-round, and submissions for each award cycle are due by April 9 so that the awards committee has sufficient time to evaluate the nominees. The nominators have to be AMP members.

Recognition

The recipient(s) are recognized at the AMP Annual Meeting. Each recipient receives a certificate of appreciation and a congratulatory letter. Recipients are also acknowledged on the AMP website. The award is not necessarily given annually but only when it is determined that service exists that warrants special recognition. More than one recipient may be acknowledged if warranted.
