 Eisenhower
Medallion
AWARD:
The Eisenhower Medallion is the highest award bestowed
by People to People International. The coin-shaped Eisenhower
Medallion bears an image of the late President Dwight
D. Eisenhower on one side and the registered logo of
People to People International on the reverse.
CRITERIA:
The Eisenhower Medallion is presented to an internationally
known individual or organization in recognition for
their exceptional contribution to world peace and understanding
over a period of at least five (5) years. Current members
of the Board of Trustees are not eligible for consideration.
No more than one (1) recipient of the Eisenhower Medallion
may be selected in any one (1) fiscal year (January
through December).
NOMINATION:
Written nominations for the Eisenhower Medallion may
be submitted by members of the Board of Trustees, Council
Chairpersons or by Chapter Presidents of People to People
International to the Awards Committee Chairperson in
care of People to People International Headquarters.
SELECTION:
Upon presentation by the Awards Committee Chairperson,
nominees for the Eisenhower Medallion must receive a two-thirds
majority vote by the Board of Directors during the June
meeting of the Board of Directors of the year prior to
the planned presentation. No nominee may receive more
than one (1) such medallion. Failure to receive a two-thirds
majority vote from the Board of Directors does not preclude
the nominee from being reconsidered at a future date.
The Board of Directors should always vote for an alternate
recipient in case the selected recipient is unable to
accept the Eisenhower Medallion. Recipients may be nominated
again at a later date if they are not able to accept the
Eisenhower Medallion in the year for which they were selected.
Such circumstances require that these nominees be resubmitted
for consideration and need another two-thirds majority
vote by the Board of Directors. The geographic location
of a nominee's home country does not influence the selection
process.
PRESENTATION:
The Eisenhower Medallion is presented at the most appropriate
time and place following the selection of the recipients.
The presentation should reflect the dignity of the Eisenhower
Medallion. The Annual Board of Trustees Meeting or the
Worldwide Conference are the customary affairs for the
presentation. Another time and place may be selected
if circumstances so dictate and are approved by the
Board of Directors. The presentation should be made
by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson
of the Board of Trustees, a corporate officer or other
special dignitary.
ADMINISTRATION:
Written nominations for the Eisenhower Medallion may
be submitted at any time to the Awards Committee Chairperson
in care of People to People International Headquarters.
All written nominations must be received by May 1st.
Nominations must include a maximum of two pages of biographical
information.
