Outstanding Service Award

On 16 May 2013, the Board of Trustees agreed new criteria for the Institute's Outstanding Service Award as follows:

• Active service to the Institute (in various voluntary roles such as the RTPI Board of Trustees, General Assembly, Committees, Networks, Panels, Nations and Regions) over an exceptional period will be the basic criterion for the award;
• "Service" will usually connote active participation in some defined capacity;
• Length of membership of the Institute or the holding of Branch (Regional) or National office for a limited period will not usually be regarded in themselves as constituting outstanding service. As the purpose of the award is to recognise service to the Institute, service to or eminence in the profession generally will not in themselves be qualifying grounds for an award.

If you know somebody who you feel should be considered for an Outstanding Service Award, please complete the nomination form (download here) and send it to governance@rtpi.org.uk.
