Awards

Welcome!

We'd like to invite you to browse the AOM MC awards page. There are a total of five awards. Award recipients are recognized and awarded for their achievements at the MC Friends and Family Dinner held at the annual AOM conference.

The MC division program awards are based on accepted conference papers. Program chairs review and select papers for these awards. The MC division awards are nominations based. We encourage you to read each award qualification description and consider applying for them yourself or nominate a colleague to receive recognition for their hard work. Our MC Awards committee members thoroughly review nomination applications.
