Dear Careers Division Members,

The Everett Hughes Award is Careers Division's premier award.

It's time to nominate colleagues that have been contributing to Careers field. Deadline is May 31^st.

Call for Nominations:

The Everett Cherrington Hughes Award for Careers Scholarship

Deadline: 31 May, 2016

The Hughes award recognizes scholarship which has made a significant contribution to the task of linking careers theory with the broader field of organization studies.

It is the Careers Division's premier award, a way of honoring those who have worked to build bridges between careers and other areas of organizational enquiry. There is no requirement, express or implied, that the recipient of the award be a current or former member of the Careers Division, or of the Academy.  The aim of this award is to acknowledge the work of scholars who have forged, rather than severed, connections between careers and other fields of social inquiry. The award carries, with the permission of his family, the name of Everett Cherrington Hughes. It does so to commemorate his seminal role in establishing careers as an object of scholarly study, but more particularly because it rewards the kind of contribution his work embodied. Past recipients of the award are: Edgar Schein, Tim Hall, Lotte Bailyn, Michael Arthur, Jeffrey Greenhaus, Barbara Lawrence, Kathy Kram, and John van Maanen.   

Nomination materials should be emailed to committee chair Maury Peiperl (Maury.Peiperl@gmail.com). The following information is required for a nomination to be considered and must be emailed as one unit by the May 31^st deadline: (1) letter of support from primary nominator, (2) a copy of the nominee's vita, and (3) at least one additional letter of support. Letters of support should clearly detail how the nominee meets the requirements of this honor. Also, in addition to organizing the nomination, the primary nominator is responsible for communicating with those who write letters of support. Please remember that the award committee does not use a rolling nomination procedure.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this important process. Please email Maury Peiperl with any questions.
