AHIMA Triumph Award Nominations
Do you know someone in HIM who is deserving of recognition at the national level? If so, help Missouri be represented nationally by nominating an MHIMA member for one of the 2008 AHIMA Triumph Awards.
Triumph Award winners are individuals who demonstrate their dedication to the HIM community through their excellent work and service. These individuals are right here among us – we can identify them if we just take a few minutes to look around.
Consider fellow MHIMA members for the following categories:
-
Distinguished Member Award- AHIMA’s highest honor, this award celebrates an individual who has made significant contributions to the HIM field through dedicated volunteer service, innovative professional practice, education, research, or publishing. This outstanding individual should possess a record of contributions to the field over many years that is truly exceptional.
-
Champion Award - This award honors an individual who has shown enthusiastic support of AHIMA by advancing AHIMA’s capacity to achieve its mission in HIM practice and who has developed or refined practice theory, demonstrated leadership, or introduced innovation and creativity to current practice.
-
e-HIM Award - This award honors individuals, groups, or organizations who have helped “push the envelope” in the transition to e-HIM.
-
Educator Award – This award recognizes educators who demonstrate excellence in preparing the next generation of professionals for an HIM career.
-
Legacy Award – This award honors a significant contribution to the knowledge base of HIM through an insightful recent publication.
-
Mentor Award – This award honors individuals or teams with long record s of encouraging students or colleagues to realize their full potential or find ways to achieve their best.
-
Research Award – This award honors those who have made an outstanding contribution to HIM research.
-
Rising Star Award – This award recognizes a gifted student or promising new professional who embodies great hope for the future of the HIM profession.
Triumph Award recipients are considered models of accomplishment. Support MHIMA by nominating our members for an award. Nominees must meet the following criteria:
-
With the exception of the Champion and e-HIM® Awards, nominees must be AHIMA members or corporate partners.
-
The Nominator is responsible for assuring that all required documentation is collected for the nominee. Incomplete submissions may adversely impact the committee's ability to adequately and fully evaluate a nominee.
-
All supporting documentation must have relevance to specific criteria requirements. The volume of material submitted is not important. Documentation should support what the nominee accomplished and specifically why the nominee is deserving of an award.
-
Individuals who have previously won a particular award are not eligible to win that award again, even if it has been reformatted. They may, however, be nominated for a different award.
-
The Triumph Awards Committee will review all nominations for determination of award issuance. If none of the nominees for a particular award reflect the level of achievement expected of an award recipient, the committee reserves the right to recommend that the award not be presented.
-
Members of the Triumph Awards Committee, AHIMA's Board of Directors, FORE's Board of Directors, and AHIMA staff are not eligible for awards during their term of service, even if the service for which they would be nominated occurred prior to their term of service or employment.
-
All nomination materials become the property of AHIMA. Materials cannot be returned.
