Distinguished Membership is awarded to members or former members who have made distinguished contributions to institutional research. This award is a meaningful recognition of significant effort in the field of institutional research. The award is for the lifetime of the individual. (Persons retiring from active service in institutional research may be recognized through the award of emeritus membership rather than with the Distinguished Membership Award.)
A member or former member nominated for Distinguished Membership should meet the following qualifications:
- Has been an active and contributing member of SAIR;
- Has contributed substantially to the field of institutional research over an extended period of time, either in the practice of institutional research or in a supporting role (e.g. faculty, college president); and
- Has influenced higher education policies and practice through work or research.
