Item 7:

ORSNZ has established an awards committee to make recommendations with respect to the award of the HGD prize, that will:

  1. Stand ready to receive, and where necessary solicit, suggestions with respect to suitable recipients.
  2. Maintain an ordered list of potential recipients, considering the alignment between their achievements and the prize criteria, and also the alignment of award timing with career events such as retirement.
  3. Pro-actively request suitably placed individuals to prepare formal nominations for persons on that list, and to provide supporting documentation, with the aim of making one HGD award every 3 years, on average.
  4. Form an ad hoc sub-committee, adding suitably qualified persons if required  to avoid conflicts of interest, to make a recommendation with respect to each nomination.

Currently:

  1. The committee consists of all past HGD awardees who are still active in ORSNZ, and it is envisaged that members will be added as new awards are made, and will retire when they cease ORSNZ activity.
  2. Awards have been well below the target rate in recent years, so further awards may be made within the next 3 years

Sincerely, Prof Vicky Mabin, Prof Andy Philpott and Prof Grant Read (Awards Committee)
