AMP Meritorious Service Award

The AMP Meritorious Service Award recognizes an AMP member for particularly estimable service to the organization. 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 also 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 service is an opportunity available to AMP members at any stage of their career and is often out of the spotlight afforded those in leadership positions.

The award is not necessarily given annually but only when it is determined that service exists that warrants this special recognition. More than one recipient may be acknowledged if warranted.

Eligibility

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

Nominations

Nominations are accepted year-round, and submissions for each award cycle are due by April 10 so that the awards committee has sufficient time to evaluate the nominees.

Recognition

The recipient(s) will be recognized at the AMP Annual Meeting. Depending on the nature of the awardee’s contributions, other venues such as The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics (JMD) may be utilized. Each recipient will receive a certificate of appreciation and a congratulatory letter. Recipients will also be acknowledged on the AMP website.
