The “AMA SERVSIG Christopher Lovelock Career Contributions to the Services Discipline Award” is presented annually by SERVSIG to the individual whose teaching, research and service have had the greatest long-term impact on the development of the services discipline. We ask your cooperation in submitting nominations for the award to Dr. Michael Brady (mbrady@cob.fsu.edu) by May 1, 2011.

All nominees must meet the following criteria. When submitting your nomination, provide examples and justification (no more than 200 words) for how the candidate you are nominating meets the criteria.

Career contributions should be of long duration, preferably 15 to 20 years.

1. Contributions to the services discipline should be significant.

2. Contributions to the services discipline should be frequent.

3. Contributions to the services discipline should include recent contributions.

Other eligibility issues

1. Candidates for a SERVSIG Award do not have to be a member of SERVSIG or the AMA to be eligible or to win.

2. Candidates may be from anywhere in the world. From the beginning, SERVSIG has sought to be globally oriented and globally active.

3. Candidates for the awards do not have to be academics. SERVSIG recognizes the vital link between academe and business practice. For example, Lynn Shostack, the first SERVSIG Career Contributions winner (1994), is not an academic.
