Rachel Davis Award Committee
The purpose of the Rachel Davis Award Committee is to solicit
nominations for and select the winner of the annual Rachel Davis
Award for Lifetime Achievement.
The Rachel Davis Award for Lifetime Achievement is given in memory
of Past President Rachel Davis. Candidates for the award must
be nominated by a fellow member (no self-nominations) and shall be
certified (credentialed) CHMM or CHMP members in good standing with
the Chapter. Nominees shall have publicly demonstrated
commitment to the Chapter and its mission. Preferred
candidates will show civic involvement / leadership in
environmental, safety and humanitarian causes.
The committee shall establish and implement the nomination and award
schedule in conjunction with the KCHMM Board. This honor is
traditionally awarded at the Chapter’s annual social meeting, which
is usually held in July, so the work of this committee is generally
conducted in the 2nd quarter. The committee chair
shall appeal to Chapter members to nominate qualified individuals.
After the nomination deadline has passed, the committee at its sole
discretion shall select the next honoree out of the qualified
candidates nominated for consideration. The committee chair
shall coordinate with an appropriate member of the Board to ensure
that the award itself (usually a framed print or plaque) is ordered
on time for presentation. The committee chair presents the
award at the designated Chapter meeting, usually the annual social
meeting.
The Rachel Davis Award Committee is automatically chaired by the most recent award recipient. The committee is further comprised of other recent winners.
