This award was established to honor Connie Hercey’s 20+ years of service to APPIC as Executive Director before her retirement in 2010. The award is not given every awards ceremony and will be presented as qualified recipients are identified, with preference given to those who have served APPIC well over time in a meaningful way through service, projects, and leadership roles. The award recipient is nominated by the APPIC Awards Committee.
This award is given to stimulate, recognize, and reward contributions to scholarly and applied knowledge related to psychology education and training, and is a collaborative effort between APPIC and TEPP. An outstanding contribution is broadly defined to include exceptional empirical, theoretical, conceptual, applied, and/or methodological contributions that substantially and significantly advance a particular topic or area within psychology education or training. The TEPP editorial staff nominates one paper per TEPP publication volume years since last membership conference to be considered by the APPIC Board of Directors.
This award recognizes outstanding psychologists who demonstrate a history of excellence in innovative training and teaching in APPIC member internship and postdoctoral training programs and have a history of outstanding work on an APPIC standing Committee. The award recipient is nominated by the APPIC Awards Committee.
