AAP Awards

AAP Annual Awards (PDF)

The AAP Awards Program recognizes AAP members who have made outstanding contributions to the field of assessment and the state association.

The Awards Committee (an ad hoc committee appointed by the AAP President) reviews the nominations and selects the award recipients. Awards for which no nominations have been received may still be given by nomination of the AAP Board and/or the Award Committee. Award recipients receive an engraved plaque.

AAP Service Awards (PDF)

AAP's service awards are presented to "members in good standing for service in the county or municipal assessment field." This means that cooperative members are also eligible for these awards. Also, persons who have worked in the assessment filed but have not always been members of AAP are still eligible as long as they accrued enough years in the assessment field.
