The
Marilyn and Sturges W. Bailey
Distinguished Member Award
revised (05/15/2008)
The Marilyn and Sturges W. Bailey Award—the highest honor of The
Clay Minerals Society (CMS)—is awarded solely for scientific eminence
in clay mineralogy (in its broadest sense) as evidenced primarily
by the publication of outstanding original scientific research and
by the impact of this research on the clay sciences. Service to clay
mineralogy, teaching, and administrative accomplishments are not
considered in the evaluation of nominees.
This Award, endowed by Linda and David Bailey, replaces The Clay
Mineral Society's Distinguished Member Award, and Distinguished Members
(see below) are therefore not eligible for the Bailey Award. This
Award is not restricted to members of CMS.
Nominations for the Marilyn and Sturges W. Bailey Award consist of a
cover letter and supporting letters outlining the candidate's
qualifications in light of the criteria above. Effective nominating
material may include a discussion of the nature and significance of the
nominee's research; the extent of the nominee's publication record; the
impact of the nominee's research as evidenced by measures such as number
and nature of citations, other awards, etc. (Supporting letters should
be solicited by the primary nominator.)
It would be useful if nomination packages are standardized to follow a
similar format to ensure fair comparisons among nominees. We recommend
that the nomination package include:
- Letter addressed to the Bailey Award Committee Chair from the
nominator, formally submitting the person's name for consideration
- Candidate's CV
- Three letters of support of the nomination, solicited by the
nominator
Nominating materials must be received by the committee chair no later than 31 March 2009. Submit the nomination package to:
Victoria C Hover, Committee Chair
University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Deptartment of Geology
PO Box 44530
Lafayette LA 70504-0001
