2004 Call for CDA Award Nominations
The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) is seeking nominations for its
2004 awards recognition program, including CDA Honorary Membership,
Distinguished Service, and the Award of Merit. Nominations received by
February 10, 2004, will be reviewed by the CDA Nominating Committee, which
will then make recommendations on suitable award winners to the Association’s
Board of Directors. The 2004 award recipients will be recognized during the CDA
Awards Ceremony & Luncheon on April 23rd at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier
Hotel in Ottawa.
Persons responding to this Call for Nominations should submit the name of only
one individual for the Honorary Membership or Distinguished Service Awards. All
submissions must include a detailed curriculum vitae for each person nominated.
Although submissions should indicate the award an individual is being nominated
for, the Nominating Committee reserves the right to recommend which award, if
any, will be granted to the nominee.
Honorary Membership
Honorary Membership is the highest award of the Association. Its purpose is to
recognize the individual deemed to have made outstanding contributions to the art
and science of dentistry, or to the dental profession, over a sustained period of time.
Although this award may be for service that is provincial, national or international
in nature, an outstanding contribution at the national level shall be a principal
consideration. Most often, recipients of the Honorary Membership would be
dentist members of the CDA.
Honorary members receive a personalized framed certificate and a gold lapel pin.
Those who are licensed dentists are exempt from CDA membership dues, and all
recipients may attend Association-sponsored scientific and social functions, as well
as annual meetings and conventions at no registration cost.
Distinguished Service Award
This award may be given to a dentist or other person to recognize either an
outstanding contribution in a given year, or outstanding service over a number of
years. It may also recognize outstanding contributions to the dental profession at
the academic level, corporate level, specialty society, council, commission or
committee level. Recipients receive an engraved wall plaque.
Award of Merit
The award will be conferred upon an individual who has served in an outstanding
capacity in the governing of the Canadian Dental Association or who has made
similar outstanding contributions to Canadian dentistry.
- at least 2 full terms on the former Executive Council and/or Board of Directors;
- a number of years of service to any dental organization, institution or specialty
section;
- at least 4 years as chair of a CDA Council/Commission/Committee/Task Force
Recipients receive an engraved wall plaque.
