Who Selects Inductees (Honour Roll Award Recipients)?
Award recipients are selected by the Honour Roll Nominations Committee. This committee screens nominations for eligibility and reviews and adjudicates nominations using a structured scoring rubric. The Committee is authorized by the OAN Board of Directors to lead this process. Members of the Honour Roll Nominations Committee include OAN Board members, past Honour Roll recipients, and community members living with HIV from the OAN’s four regions. The committee membership aims to reflect diverse roles perspectives within the work and includes individuals who reflect the diverse and intersectional community of people living with and affected by HIV, and those working and volunteering within the Ontario HIV response.
