Awards
2009 Catchers in the Rye Awards
Deadline: June 30, 2009
These AACAP/Assembly awards--individual, AACAP component, and regional organization--recognize outstanding child and adolescent advocacy efforts.
“I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s around -- nobody big, I mean -- except me. And I am standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff.” J.D. Salinger
"Catching" the moment:
2008 Catchers in the Rye Awards Presentations
2007 Catchers in the Rye Awards Presentations
2006 Catchers in the Rye Awards Presentations
2005 Catchers in the Rye Awards Presentations
Regional Council Communication Award
This AACAP/Assembly award recognizes a regional organization that "BEST" advances the AACAP mission through newsletters (paper and electronic) and/or its website.
Newsletters is evaluated on variety, inclusiveness, appearance/design, focus on AACAP goals, and a good editorial hand.
Websites are judged on content quality, inclusiveness, improvement, originality, appearance/design, and ability to move the AACAP mission (specifically recruitment).
I would like a New Delegate Starter Kit sent to me.
Assembly of Regional Organizations Orientation Manual
Increase Your Number of Delegates
For further information about specific Regional Organizations please contact Earl Magee, AACAP Executive/Assembly Administrator, at 202.966.7300, ext. 115, or emagee@aacap.org.
Regional organizations are grass roots level support of AACAP initiatives; are responsible for support of local members and residents, advocacy for children’s mental health issues; and liaison to the Assembly, especially the communication of local issues. The Assembly, which meets twice per year, is composed of delegates from all member regional organizations. The number of delegates is based on the size of the regional organization’s membership: one delegate for every 50 members. Only members current with their dues are included and two resident members count as one member. The delegates from each regional organization are responsible for bringing important issues to the attention of the Assembly and for sharing the information received from the Assembly with their regional organizations. The Assembly’s officers—Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary/Treasurer, and two Representatives to Council—are delegates elected by Assembly delegates and serve on Council concurrent with their term on the Assembly Executive Committee. They serve an executive function for the Assembly and are responsible for bringing important issues from the Assembly to the Council and vice versa.
