2021 Fellows and Distinguished Award Recipients to be Honored

Every year SIOP and the SIOP Foundation present numerous awards recognizing excellence in professional and student work. For 2021, 7 SIOP members are being honored with distinguished awards and 12 members are receiving Fellow status.

These recipients will be individually featured in a social media campaign spanning SIOP’s Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts beginning next week. They will also be honored during the Opening Plenary of the 2021 SIOP Annual Conference.

Three inaugural awards were also added this year: the Joel Lefkowitz Early Career Award for Humanistic Industrial-Organizational Psychology, the Graen Grant for Student Research on Leaders and Teams, and the P. Richard Jeanneret Grant for Research About Assessing and Developing Senior Leaders (this is a one-time award).

SIOP has been recognizing the outstanding contributions of members by granting Fellow status throughout its history. To be considered for SIOP Fellow status, a member must be nominated by another member and endorsed by at least three more SIOP Fellows. A member who has been active in the Society for 10 years or more is eligible based on meaningful, sustained, and unusual impact on the field.

SIOP Distinguished Awards are given in recognition of either a lifetime of outstanding contributions or distinguished early career contributions to the practice or science of industrial and organizational psychology; sustained, significant, and outstanding service to SIOP; a sustained record of excellence in the teaching of I-O psychology; and sustained, significant, and outstanding humanitarian contributions related to I-O psychology.

A complete list of 2021 award winners will be available online in April. A complete list of 2020 award winners is currently available online.
