SIOP Fellowship Nominations Are Due Oct. 1

In an effort to recognize unusual and outstanding contributions to I-O psychology, SIOP invites members to nominate colleagues for SIOP Fellowship. Nominations are due October 1, 2023, which will be here before we know it. Please make time to begin or complete your nominations before the process closes.

SIOP Fellowship is one of the highest honors a member can receive and is open to individuals who work in any I-O topic area or employment setting. The Fellowship Committee reviews all nominations and makes recommendations to the Executive Board. After thoughtful consideration, new Fellows will be announced in the spring of 2024 and recognized at the 2024 SIOP Annual Conference in Chicago.

Fellowship nominee requirements include:

• Must be a current Society Member at the time of nomination and for the previous 2 years.
• Must have accumulated a minimum of 10 years of professional membership, inclusive of the year in which the candidate is nominated.
• Must have evidence that the individual’s contributions have had meaningful, sustained, and extraordinary impact on the field of industrial and organizational psychology.
• Must be nominated by other Members or Fellows. Self-nomination is not permitted.

Fellow status is not simply based on adding up how many criteria are represented in a nominee’s curriculum vitae. Similarly, recognition as a SIOP Fellow is not simply a matter of competency nor is it recognition of a steady and active career in I-O. Rather, Fellow status specifically recognizes unusual and outstanding contributions that have an important impact on I-O psychology.

Each nominee is considered individually; there is no quota or percentage of Fellows. The Fellowship Committee takes very seriously its obligation to make sure that outstanding SIOP members are recognized, balanced by the realization that Fellowship is a significant honor, highly valued by the SIOP community.

Complete requirements and procedures, as well as a helpful timetable and examples of contributions, can be found on our website.
