The deadline for consideration for the 2009 awards is January 30, 2009. However, award submissions will now be accepted year-round. Awards submitted after January 30, 2009 will be held and considered in the 2010 award cycle.

While most awards recognize past achievements, the APPA Fellow designation brings with it both recognition of specific accomplishments to date and expectations for continued involvement in APPAs leadership program through research and mentoring. This is APPAs highest individual achievement award.
In order to be eligible for the designation of APPA Fellow, individuals must:
- Be an active member of APPA, with at least ten years of membership.
- Complete APPAs Institute for Facilities Management.
- Complete the APPA Leadership Academy.
- Complete a research project under APPAs Center for Facilities Research - CFaR (Presentation of research at a professional facilities conference is encouraged but not required).
- Prepare an article accepted for publication by APPA.
- Provide two references from colleagues in the educational facilities profession that can speak about your successes and dedication to the educational facilities profession.
Please use this checklist to ensure that you have satisfied all the necessary requirements for the APPA Fellow Award prior to submitting your application. Proof of graduation from APPA programs is required (copies of certificates serve as proof) and all applications are reviewed by the Awards and Recognition Committee to ensure that they are complete. APPA Fellow Award recipients must be approved by the APPA Board of Directors.
