The deadline for nominations is Friday August 25, 2023. Nominations should be sent to SEAC Treasurer/Secretary Alan Preti apreti@rosemont.edu. SEAC’s Executive Committee will select and announce the award winners by the end of August. EAC Distinguished Service Awards are non-renewable

The award recognizes prolonged service to the organization, including but not limited to serving on the executive committee, organizing an annual conference, coordinating conference panels, mentoring junior scholars, serving as web master, and doing editorial work for Teaching Ethics (including organizing special issues). Award recipients will be invited to give a presentation at the current or a future conference.
