Data Analytics and Information Systems (DAIS) Professional Achievement Award

The purpose of this award is to recognize an exceptional individual working
in a field (either
academia or industry) who has made significant contributions to the field
of data analytics and
information systems over a period of at least 10 years of professional
experience after the highest degree, with the cumulative impact of those
contributions on data analytics and information systems being the deciding
factor.
Individuals may make contributions to any or all of the following
categories:

   - Efforts and contribution to data analytics and information systems
   education
   - Dissemination of knowledge,
   - Contributions to advance research,
   - Commitment to mentoring, and
   - Improvement of the field's position or visibility,
   - Contributions to practice.

Application Process

   -  The candidate must be an IISE and a DAIS member.
   -  The candidate must be nominated by the supervisor or director of the
   candidate.
   -  Nominations may be made anonymously or by anybody including
   self-nominations.
   -  The onus of demonstrating merit is on the nominator.

The nomination package must include the following elements

   -  Cover letter
   -  Curriculum Vitae of the nominee
   -  A detailed description of the nominee's main achievements to the
   profession, supported by the necessary documents
   -  At least two, but no more than four, letters of recommendation
   attesting to the nominee's
   - relevance and extent of professional accomplishments. Each letter of
   recommendation must
   - be written by a single individual.

Evaluation Process
The nominee will be evaluated on the following criteria (weighting in
parenthesis) on a five-point
scale (1 being the minimum and 5 being the maximum):
 Contributions to advance research and practice (30 percent)
 Dissemination of knowledge, improvement of the field's standing, or
increased visibility (30 percent)
 Mentorship commitment (20 percent)
 Efforts and contribution to data analytics education (20 percent)

Conflict of Interest Policy Societies and divisions must follow standard
conflict of interest guidelines. Those guidelines include, but are not
limited to:

   -  Officers and Board members of the S/D should be ineligible for
   awards during the period of their service, without approval by the Senior
   VP for Technical Operations (SVP). Exceptions may only be made by the SVP
   when awards are time sensitive (i.e., a Student Best Paper Award for a
   Student Board Member, when the student is graduating), and the impacted
   board member(s) or officer(s) must recuse themselves from the award
   process. For awards that are not time-sensitive, the nominee should wait
   until their Officer or Board service is complete to be nominated.
   -  The awards committee (or judging committee) should not include
   members who have either a personal or professional relationship with the
   nominees. For example, a faculty member should not be judging a paper
   competition where a student from the same university is a nominee for best
   student paper award.
   -  The awards committee (or judging committee) should actively change
   its membership on a rotating basis from year to year to ensure fairness,
   equity, and diversity. That is, some members of the judging committee
   should roll off the committee and new members should roll on.

Note, it is a best practice to document the procedures and policies of the
award committee(s) for transparency.

   -  Recognition at the Annual Conference:
      -  at DAIS Town Hall Meeting
