L.S. ROSEN OUTSTANDING EDUCATOR AWARD

This Award was established in 1983 to honour Professor L.S. (Al) Rosen, the founding President of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association. One award will be made each year at the CAAA Annual Conference, subject to there being a worthy nomination.

PURPOSE

The L.S. Rosen Award recognizes an educator's contributions to Canadian accounting education through excellence in teaching, educational innovation, publications, guidance for students, and involvement in professional and academic societies and activities.

AWARD COMMITTEE

The CAAA Nominating Committee will identify the Chair, who will select the two members of the L.S. Rosen Award Committee, annually. The makeup of the Committee should reflect geographic diversity to the extent possible.

The chairperson and two other members of the Committee will solicit and receive all nominations made for the L. S. Rosen Outstanding Educator Award. The Committee will review the nominations and accompanying materials which have been received and will also undertake to obtain whatever additional information it may require in order to reach a decision.

AWARD COMMITTEE FOR 2024-2025

  • Alessandro Ghio, ESCP, (Président)
  • Joanne Jones, Université York
  • Luminita Enache, Université de Calgary

NOMINATING

SUBMIT A NOMINATION 

Any informed person or group, especially alumni, colleagues, departmental committees and provincial or national societies may submit nominations.

The educator should be (physically) resident in Canada at the time of the contribution.

Current members of the CAAA Board, Committee Chairs, members of the L.S. Rosen, George Baxter, Haim Falk, and Howard Teall Awards Committees and members of the Nominating Committee are ineligible to receive this award.

All nominations submitted for the first time, which do not receive the Award, will be brought forward and reconsidered the following year. In each case the nominator will be contacted to ensure that they agree with this.

The nomination package must include

  • a curriculum vitae for the nominee;
  • a list of at least three persons considered to be thoroughly familiar with the nominee's career;
  • and a brief statement describing how the nominee meets the general award criteria.

Those submitting nominations are encouraged to present information gathered from students, alumni, colleagues and professional organizations. The Committee will undertake to obtain whatever additional information it may require to make a decision.

Contributions to Canadian accounting education over a sustained period of time through:

  • excellence in teaching
  • publications (books, educational material, case studies, articles in magazines, etc.)
  • educational innovation
  • research guidance for graduate students
  • involvement in professional and academic societies and activities

A nominee need not have made a major contribution to every general criterion. The Award recipient must be a member in good standing of the CAAA.
