Purpose and Criteria:
The Lifetime Contribution Award is to recognize individuals who have made significant
contribution to management accounting education, research and/or practice over a sustained period of time through scholarly endeavors, teaching excellence, educational innovation and/or service to the Management Accounting Section. The award extends profession-wide recognition to the recipient and promotes role models in management accounting.
