The deadline for submission is March 31 annually.

The nomination process is confidential. As such, all nominations must be submitted directly to the PCC Secretariat.

  • Dr. Thérèse Côté-Boileau

Up to six awards may be granted each year, including three Emerging Leader Awards, subject to the quality and suitability of nominations received.

The Selection Committee Chair will prepare a Final Report outlining the awardees, which will be submitted to the PCC Board of Directors for final approval.

Announcement of Winners

Once final approval is granted, award recipients will receive a formal congratulatory email from the PCC Secretariat. The nominating Chairs will be copied on this communication. Award recipients will also be publicly announced via:

  • The PCC website

Award Presentation

Award recipients will be formally recognized and presented with their award at the PCC Fall Awards Ceremony.

Travel and accommodation costs for each awardee will be covered by their nominating department.
