Outstanding Achievement Award
In the spirit of celebrating excellence, the SRMTA initiated the Outstanding Achievement Award. Its purpose is to recognize those SRMTA members who have made a difference in their students’ lives, their local musical community, and also at their branch level. A nominal fee of $50 is submitted by the local branch, along with a letter of nomination highlighting the nominee’s contributions and biography.
All nominees are required to have been an SRMTA member for a minimum of 5 years, currently be a member in good standing and have held office at the local, provincial, or national level. This award is an excellent opportunity for branches to acknowledge members who have made a significant contribution to the SRMTA, the local music scene, and student education. Each branch is allowed to nominate one person per year.
Award recipients will be recognized at the Fall AGM. Nominees and their nominators are requested to be present at the Fall AGM.
