IAJGS Salutes!

Salute! Recipients

Purpose
  • To provide recognition on an ongoing basis of noteworthy projects, activities and accomplishments relating to Jewish genealogy at any time during the year in addition to the annual IAJGS achievement awards.
Eligibility
  • Recognition is open to non-profit organizations and individuals. Recognition does not disqualify such an organization or individual from being nominated for or receiving any other IAJGS achievement award.
  • For consideration, the project or effort must have been completed since January 1st of the prior year.
  • Segments or phases of a larger project may be considered; however, it is the result from that segment or phase alone which must meet the criteria.
Ineligibility
  • Efforts or activities previously recognized by the IAJGS either through this program, through an IAJGS Achievement Award or through the Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern Grant.
  • “For profit” commercial organization.
  • An individual serving on the selection committee is not eligible during their tenure as a committee member. However, an organization to which that individual belongs is not ineligible during that time.
Criteria for Recognition
  • One or more of the following will be used to evaluate efforts and activities:
    • Did the project or activity increase the availability of resources for Jewish genealogy?
    • Did the project or activity demonstrate creative techniques others can use?
    • Did the project or activity increase interest and participation in Jewish genealogy?
Process
  • A "Salute!" may be proposed and submitted by any IAJGS member organization.
  • There is no limit on the number of worthy efforts or activities that may be recognized.
  • Nominations must be submitted to the IAJGS Salute! committee chair (see below). They may be submitted at any time, and recognition will be ongoing throughout the year.
  • Upon receipt of a nomination, the committee will consider it and within 30 days submit its recommendation to the IAJGS President.
  • Upon the endorsement of the president, the organization or individual will be recognized on the IAJGS website.
