Awards

SPIM offers three awards. The Distinguished Psychologist in Management Award, Richard Kilburg Service Award and the Women’s Endowment Early Career Leadership Award

DISTINGUISHED PSYCHOLOGIST IN MANAGEMENT AWARD

The Distinguished Psychologist in Management Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the practice of management by a psychologist. It was created to recognize individual accomplishments in fulfilling the purpose of the Society of Psychologists in Management (SPIM), which is to facilitate the growth, development, and interaction of psychologists who work as managers, or who otherwise contribute to the application of psychology to management.

The award is presented to an individual who has developed, refined, and implemented practices, procedures, and methods that have a major impact on people in organizational settings and/or on the professions of management.

The award includes an honorarium, a plaque, and an invited address at SPIM's Midwinter Conference.

The recipient must be a psychologist and manager (or one who has made major contributions to psychology and management). Membership in the American Psychological Association or the American Psychological Society is highly desirable as evidence of commitment to the science and practice of psychology.

 THE WOMEN’S ENDOWMENT EARLY CAREER LEADERSHIP AWARD

The purpose of The Women’s Endowment Early Career Leadership Award is to ensure that women leaders, managers and consultants are actively involved in SPIM activities and can be accomplished in several ways. The Award is established to sponsor a deserving female psychologist in attending or distinguished female psychologist presenting at the SPIM conferences and institutes. Specifically, the Award will pay for the individual’s registration to the conference, two half-day institutes and a one-year membership to SPIM. At this time we are looking for nominations from SPIM members for a female psychologist who meets the following criteria:

• Has potential to benefit from SPIM and to make contributions to SPIM and its mission of facilitating the growth, development and interaction of psychologists who work as managers
• Is not a SPIM member
• Has received a PhD in psychology within the last ten years
• Has been a manager for less than ten years (women psychologists in academia and the federal government are eligible candidates, if in leadership roles under 5 years or less
