Nominations process for Tutor Recognition Awards

The awards were first presented in 2022.  They are made annually to recognise tutors who contribute significantly to their U3As, particularly in the following areas:

• Innovation in the development and presentation of courses; particularly new courses

• Excellence in course conduct and presentation

• Highly positive feedback from course attendees, and

• Mentoring other tutors.

Nominations for 2024 are now closed.

As part of the nomination process, you will be asked to set out what the nominee has done and why you think they should be recognised.  Every nomination is different so there is no single way to approach this.  Just tell us what you think is particularly noteworthy about your nominee’s service and achievements as a tutor. 

You can include things like:

• Examples of how they have demonstrated outstanding qualities,

• What they have done to make things better for others,

• The role(s) or area(s) in which they have excelled.

The maximum word limit for the application is 200 words. This is your opportunity to highlight why you think this tutor deserves this recognition.

See information about the 2023 and 2022 award winners on Network’s Honour Roll.

A selection committee will make the award selection and advise Network Committee of their recommendations for final approval. Successful nominees will be announced at the U3A Network AGM in 2024.
