The Jeanneret Award for Excellence in the Study of Individual or Group Assessment recognizes a written work with high potential to further the understanding and practice of individual or group assessment in the workplace, especially when such assessment supports the creation of a diverse workforce.
The work can be documented in a variety of formats (e.g., journal articles, books, book chapters, technical reports, conference proceedings, or online publications). To be considered for the award, the work must have been produced within the last three calendar years.
Award recipients receive a plaque and a $3,000 cash prize (to be split in the case of multiple authors).
