AAAI/EAAI PATRICK HENRY WINSTON OUTSTANDING EDUCATOR AWARD
Submission Deadline: September 22, 2023

EAAI, in cooperation with AAAI, is soliciting nominations for the
Patrick Henry Winston Outstanding Educator award, an award that is
presented annually to a person (or group of people) who has made major
contributions to AI education that provide long-lasting benefits to
the AI community. Examples include innovating teaching methods,
providing service to the AI education community, generating
pedagogical resources, designing curricula, and educating students
outside of higher education venues (or the general public) about
AI. The award consists of a certificate, a $1,000 honorarium,
complimentary one-year AAAI membership (new or renewal), and free
conference registration to the upcoming EAAI conference and co-located
AAAI conference where the award will be conferred.

A nomination package should include the following material:

   * the CV of the nominee,
   * a nomination letter (maximum three pages),
   * two additional letters of endorsement (maximum three pages), and
   * optionally, two additional pages of supporting documentation.

All letter writers should be members of the AI community, ideally from
different institutions and relatively independent of the nominee. The
nomination letter should describe the specific educational
achievements of the nominee that merit the AAAI/EAAI Patrick Henry
Winston Outstanding Educator award, describe their impact, and provide
a proposed award citation of 30 words or less. Self-nominations are
not accepted. The letters of endorsement should provide first-hand
knowledge of the letter writers that support the statements in the
nomination, not merely repeat them.

The nominator should compile the nomination package and submit the
complete package by September 22, 2023 to
xxxxxx@aaai.org. Nomination packages that arrive after the deadline
will not be considered. The award committee will acknowledge receipt
of the nominations but will not contact the nominees (to keep the
nominations confidential). The award will be conferred at the upcoming
EAAI conference, which the award winner is expected to attend.

Nominators will be informed of the result of the decision for any
nominations they made. A nominator will have the choice of withdrawing
an unsuccessful nomination to wait for a more appropriate time,
updating the nomination for the following year to strengthen the case,
or leaving the nomination unchanged for consideration for the next
year. Unsuccessful nominations that are not explicitly withdrawn by
the nominator will be automatically reconsidered for up to two
additional years and then withdrawn.

In case of questions, please contact the chair of the award committee,
Dave Touretzky (xxxxxx@aaai.org).
