The OALT/ABO Presidential Award is presented annually to any full member, in good standing, of OALT / ABO (excluding the current Provincial President, members of the Award Committee and past recipients). This award recognizes the contributions of Library Technicians from communities across Ontario, whose leadership, commitment and persistent endeavours have contributed significantly to advancing the Association and our profession.

The OALT/ABO Presidential Award Selection Committee consists of the previous award recipient and two additional members, in good standing, of OALT/ABO. The Selection Committee will seek candidates who generally meet the following criteria :

1. Member of OALT / ABO.
2. Evidence that the Association has played a significant role during the individual's professional career.
3. Demonstrated leadership in helping others achieve full participation in the library profession within the Association and / or within the work place.
4. Outstanding contribution in building the Association either regionally or provincially.
5. Advanced recognition of the Library and Information Technician profession through publications, seminars, or workshops.

Two members in good standing, who are not related to the candidate, may sponsor candidates for the OALT / ABO Presidential Award.
