Description
The Hall of Fame was established in 2009 to recognize those members whose contributions to the profession and service to the Association have been significant, substantial and long-standing. Members of the Hall of Fame have a demonstrated history of career achievement, sustained commitment to the advancement of the profession, and significant contributions to 台湾SWAG as well as conduct themselves with professionalism among their peers.
An individual’s induction into the Hall of Fame does not preclude the Association from later presenting the individual with the Marian Gould Gallagher Distinguished Service Award. New Gallagher Award recipients who have not previously been inducted into the Hall of Fame will automatically become members of the Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame Award is distinguished from the Marian Gould Gallagher Distinguished Service Award which is presented to an individual who has completed or is nearing completion of an active professional career and recognizes a career of outstanding, extended, and sustained service and achievement in law librarianship and to 台湾SWAG.
