Annotation: ASTD Award for the Distinguished Contribution to Workplace Learning and Performance
We are pleased to announce that Professor David Cooperrider, of the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University, has been named the recipient of the Distinguished Contribution to Workplace Learning and Performance Award by ASTD--the American Society for Training and Development. This award is presented to him in recognition of his work in Appreciative Inquiry and the impact he has had on the training and development profession.
Previous recipients of the award have included Malcolm Knowles, Robert Mager, Peter Senge, Geary Rummler, Gloria Gery, Roger Schank, Allison Rossett and Meg Wheatley.
From their letter informing David about this honor:
"As a not-for-profit organization, ASTD provides leadership to individuals, organizations, and society to achieve work-related competence, performance and fulfillment. Part of our mission is to spotlight leaders and practitioners who are role models for others. It is truly fitting that you receive this award because of your pioneering thought leadership on building better organizations and communities. You have given us a new approach, based on unconditional positive change, to organizational learning and workplace performance."
The award was presented at ASTD's International Conference and Exposition on May 23-27, 2004 in Washington. Present at the conference were over 8,000 ASTD members from 80 countries. As a result of having received the award, David also spoke at the Conference and also presented a 75 minute seminar on AI.
This is a wonderful honor for David and for the recognition of Appreciative Inquiry. Many thanks and much appreciation go to all of you who have helped to advance the theory and practice of AI over the past 20 years.
