Lunar Society Medal: Call for nominations now closed
The Call for Nominations for the Lunar Society Medal is now closed.
Nominations with a relevant testimony should have been sent to Peter Ullathorne as Chair of the Medal Committee by the 31st March 2009.
This prestigious award will reflect the outstanding achievement of an individual in their contribution to the aims of the Society and the furtherance of social and economic life in the West Midlands. The recipient should be deemed worthy of recognition as having added to the vigour of the West Midlands community by social, academic, political, religious, financial or commercial activity; this could include research, participation in local or national bodies, development of the regional infrastructure (either public or private), and generally a substantial corpus of work that has brought lustre to the region.
The award is to be proposed by the Medal Committee to the Executive Committee and, if approved by them, the proposal with be taken to the Society's Annual General Meeting. It will be open to all Members of the Society to suggest names of potential recipients to the Medal Committee in confidence.
Recipients will be presented with the Medal, suitably engraved, at the subsequent Annual General Meeting or some other suitable occasion, and this will be recorded in the Society's archive.
The first Lunar Society Medal was awarded to Dame Rachel Waterhouse in 2006. In 2007, Medals were awarded to Sir Richard Knowles and to Sir Adrian Cadbury. There was no Medal awarded in 2008.
