Australian Evaluation Society Inc. Leading Evaluation in Australia

AES Fellows

Background

A category of membership known as ‘Fellow of the Society’ was adopted by the AES in 2003 in order to recognise outstanding contributions by members to the Society and to evaluation more generally in Australasia.

This policy envisioned a number of purposes and benefits in relation to achieving the aims of the Society as well as benefits for a Fellow. It was seen to be a distinct form of recognition, differing from the ET&S Award and other categories of award made by the Society, and one which implicitly brought with it a variety of roles and responsibilities.

Criteria and evidence

There are four screening criteria specified to determine eligibility for nomination together with seven substantive criteria. The latter focus on Contributions to Evaluation, essentially in evaluation teaching, research and practice, and on Contributions to the Society, primarily in relation to its aims and operations. A nomination should address each of the substantive criteria even if a particular criterion is not seen as a key basis for the nomination.

How to nominate

Names of proposed recipients will be sought annually from those eligible to submit names:

  • Current Board Members, Committee Chairs and Regional Representatives. Regional representatives are encouraged to seek nominations from the wider membership.
  • Past office bearers
  • Fellows.

Conclusion

 

The information provided by the nominators about nominees should be presented in relation to each Criterion.  This may involve some overlap and redundancy, but this is necessary so that the nominee’s contributions can be fully and fairly assessed.

 

The Board is particularly concerned that the information provided in support of a nomination can be verified.  Thus, details of how, where and by whom evidence such as publications, unpublished reports and details of activities, etc. can be accessed, and their significance in context, needs to be provided.  Where relevant details are not known to a nominator assistance may be sought on a confidential basis from the Executive Officer who has access to a variety of information sources.   

 

The fairness and integrity of the decisions made in relation to Fellowship nominations is important and the assistance of the nominators in helping to ensure this is greatly appreciated by the Board.  Thank you for your concern and contributions.
