What is the timeline for the recognition program?
Each calendar year the nomination submission deadline is the last day of the AOA’s annual House of Delegate meeting. *The Mentor of the Year Award is usually on display during the meeting, along with mentor stories previously submitted.* During the last week of July AOA staff gathers and collate each of the nominations and distribute them to the divisional and specialty groups and student groups. The deadline to receive “society-backed” nominees from affiliates and students groups is in August. Additionally nominations are sent to the AOA Mentor of the Year Selection Committee. In September the mentor of the year finalists are notified. Invitations to attend the annual Distinguished Mentor Reception and notification of induction into the AOA Mentor Hall of Fame are sent to all mentors who were initially nominated.
