The award recipient is selected by the JOPON Editorial Board. This award has been supported by Sage Publications since 2003.

The recipient of this award receives a $100 honorarium, recognition at the annual conference business and awards luncheon, APHON Counts, in a press release, and an announcement is sent to the recipient's employer.
