American Humanist Association: Humanists of the Year
The Humanist of the Year award was established in 1953 to recognize a
person of national or international reputation who, through the application
of humanist values, has made a significant contribution to the improvement
of the human condition. Selection of the awardee is based on research
derived from biographical data, writings, studies, and contributions to
humanity. Nominations are accepted from AHA members. The Awards Committee,
with the approval of the Board, makes the selection. A bronze plate bearing
an inscription is awarded at the Annual Conference. The awardee's acceptance
speech is published in The Humanist.
