2004 Achievement Award Winner

The criteria for the PAM Achievement Award are:

The PAM Achievement Award is reserved for those recipients whose professional work is marked by distinction and dedication to librarianship in astronomy, mathematics and/or physics. The purpose of the award is to recognize those Division members who have made outstanding contributions to the Division.

The winner of this year's Achievement Award began her service to the division by acting as moderator of the Mathematics Roundtable. She subsequently chaired the Nominating Committee. She then served as Division Chair, and in the very next year volunteered her services as Hospitality Chair. She has since served on the Awards Committee and currently serves as chair of the Strategic Planning Committee.

In addition to this superb record of service to the division, this year's award winner has well represented the division's interests as a liaison to INSPEC for several years, and as a member and current co-chair of the AMS Library Committee.

The nominations for this year's award winner were also strikingly consistent in noting the personal qualities of the nominee: her intelligence; her willingness to share her experiences both as librarian and as division officer; and her generosity of spirit and sense of humor that have graced all members of the division, from the newest to the most experienced.

For all of these reasons, we are happy to present the 2004 PAM Achievement Award to Molly White of the University of Texas.
