Awards
CARP has many talented, energetic professionals who are very dedicated to their field of rehabilitation. There are a few who not only share this professional dedication, but go far beyond this. These people have been exceptional in their field. They have made a real difference in the lives of many and through their work have furthered the field of rehabilitation and the CARP organization.
This work is recognized by their provincial societies who put forth their names to the National Board for consideration of being awarded the "Fellowship of the Canadian Association of Rehabilitation Professionals."
The nomination process is as follows:
- All nominees must be a member in good standing of the association in the year the fellowship is presented
- Each nomination will be accompanied by a resume of the nominees career in rehabilitation and a concise description of the work and achievements of the nominee which in the opinion of the nominators qualify the person for the award, together with such supporting material they may wish to present.
- The resume must be accompanied by a cover letter complete with the signatures from the person(s) making the nomination. All nominations must be received by the nominations committee no later than January 31st in each year.
- The Nominations Committee will review and make recommendations for the award to the National Board of Directors who will, by majority vote, make the decision to award the Fellowship.
Once the fellowship is awarded, the candidate will be entitled to use the initials FCARP after their name. A nomination may be submitted in a subsequent year. This award is not necessarily awarded annually.
