Nominations for the BABAO Mentorship Award are open until September 7th 2025
BABAO has established two awards for members, the Service Award and the Mentorship Award. Requests for nominations are in alternate years, with the award being presented at the BABAO Annual Conference. This year, it’s time to present an award for Mentorship!
The BABAO Trustees will consider applications, but if any Trustee member is nominated that Trustee will not review the nominations for that round.
Nominations are open to all members and awards may be given to any member. This award is presented biennially.
What makes a member worthy of the Mentorship Award?
