Presentation/Publication Awards
- Saul B. Saila Best Student Paper Award (initiated in 1989)
- Best Student Paper award was changed to a $100 award presented at each meeting. A minimum of three committee members
or members-at-large judge the papers using the standardized student paper evaluation form
from the AFS Education Section. The Professionalism Committee Chair coordinates judging
and tallies the scores. If the award is given, the winner is typically announced at the end of the
meeting and awarded a check by the Secretary-Treasurer. A congratulatory letter prepared by
the Chair of the Professionalism Committee and certificate prepared by the parent society are mailed to award winners.
