Hall of Fame and Humanitarian Award Nominees The IAJE Past Presidents Council oversees the selection process for the Jazz Education Hall of Fame and the Humanitarian Award.
The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to honor those individuals whose musical contributions and dedication to jazz education over the past 25 years have created new directions and curricular innovations for music education worldwide.
The Humanitarian Award honors members whose love for teaching transcends the usual academic environment and is presented to an individual who, over the past twenty or more years, has evidenced in his or her efforts to perpetuate jazz, the four elements of humanism: dedication, non-prejudice, altruism, and love. IAJE members submitting nominees should include a biography for the nominee and other information that would assist the committee in its decision. The recipient will be honored during ceremonies at the 29th Annual IAJE International Conference in Long Beach, California, USA. All materials should be forwarded to Past Presidents Council, P.O. Box 724, Manhattan, KS 66505 USA, fax to 785-776-6190 or email to info@iaje.org. Deadline for receipt is November 1, 2001.
