Each year at its annual meeting the Association presents ovationes and gratulationes to members who have been selected by the Awards Committee for their significant service to the discipline and the organization. The ovatio or gratulatio is read in Latin by a colleague close to the honoree at the banquet, while copies of the ovatio or gratulatio in Latin and English are distributed to attendees.
To nominate a colleague for an ovatio (an ovation and rejoicing of excellence in service to CAAS and to our discipline) or a gratulatio (congratulations and celebration of a colleague’s service to CAAS and to our profession), we request that you provide the name of the person nominated, accompanied by a brief (one paragraph) rationale for the nominee’s worthiness for an award.
