About the Awards & Recognition Committee (ARC): The ARC oversees the ORS Outstanding Achievement Awards and other awards as assigned.

Expected Time Commitment:

- Time spent reviewing applications varies based on the number of submissions. When submissions exceed 10 per award, reviews are typically divided among committee members
Specific Role:
- Review and score assigned award applications
- Participate in 3–5 meetings to discuss results and provide feedback on selected recipients
