Criteria

I. PURPOSE

The Phillips Award, instituted in 1980, was designed to annually recognize one APT US & C member for professional leadership in and significant contribution to professional treasury management. The purpose of the Phillips Award, which is the Association’s most honored award, is to encourage development of innovative programs in public finance.

II. NOMINATIONS

All active APT US & C members are eligible for nomination. Nominations may be made by a state or provincial MTA, a public body, other active APT US & C members, or through self-nomination. As the Phillips Award is presented at the APT US & C Annual Conference, individuals either self-nominated or aware of their nomination by another party are strongly encouraged to attend the conference.

III. CRITERIA FOR THE AWARD

The Phillips Award Committee is responsible for evaluating nomination submissions. The Committee is chaired by the most recent recipient of the Phillips Award and is comprised of three or more long-standing APT US & C members. Committee members independently evaluate candidates, and combine evaluations to determine the Award winner. The following are the criteria by which nomination submissions are judged:

• Practicality, originality, and cost efficiency of the innovation(s)
• Value to the government, both present and future
• Value to the treasury management profession
• Clarity of presentation
  
  *Other considerations, such as timeliness of innovation(s), may contribute to the Committee’s final decision.

IV. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION

Submissions must include a brief professional biography (form provided) with a resume (optional), and a submission statement (on separate paper) explaining the nominee’s professional accomplishments for which the Phillips Award is recommended.
All submission statements should:

• Describe in detail the treasury problems which innovations were designed to address.
• Describe the innovations themselves, using any necessary supporting documentation.
• Indicate the methods by which the innovations were implemented, and why these methods were appropriate to the context of the government and its citizenry.
