NACRA 2010 Annual Meeting Awards
Authors should indicate on the Case
Submission Form if they are eligible for any of the following
awards.
- The Outstanding Student-Authored Case Award
is awarded to the student author and the faculty supervisor for
the best student-written case as presented at the NACRA annual
meeting. To be considered for the best student case award, no
faculty member may be included as co-author. However, such cases
should list the faculty supervisor(s), if any, on the cover page.
The faculty supervisors may be included as co-author if the case
is revised and submitted to the Case Research Journal if the authors
so choose. Track Chairs nominate cases (complete with instructor’s
manual/teaching note) which are then judged by a committee chaired
by the president-elect.
- The Outstanding Newcomer Case Award is awarded
to the best case as presented at a roundtable by an author attending
his or her (or their) first NACRA annual meeting. Track Chairs
nominate cases (complete with instructor’s manual/teaching
note) which are then judged by a committee chaired by the president-elect.

to the best case as submitted by authors outside the U.S. and
Canada and presented at that year’s annual NACRA meeting.
The award includes a stipend to cover the registration to the

by the president-elect. The award is sponsored by Walt Greene,
who is always one of the members of the committee.

Decision focused cases are preferred. Submissions must include

a three-member committee. The committee is composed of one person

- The Curtis E. Tate Jr. Award (as revised for
CRJ) is awarded each year for the best case published (or accepted

- The C. R. Christensen Outstanding Teaching Case Award
is awarded to a case submitted to the NACRA Education Track for
presentation to the annual meeting, revised, and submitted to

pedagogical issues, and intra/extra classroom incidents in the

committee is composed of three NACRA members appointed by the
current president of NACRA. The recipient is expected to participate
in a discussion of the case at the C. R. Christensen Teaching
Session, a plenary session at the annual NACRA meeting the following

and on the participation of the participant in the session. The

to the Editor of the CRJ by March 15. The award is presented the

Workshop Case Awards: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. These
are awarded to the top three cases presented at each year’s
case workshop. Track Chairs will nominate a case for the Best
Workshop Case from their track based on reviewer recommendations
and their own review of the cases accepted for the track. If there
are more than ten cases accepted for the track, two cases could
be nominated (more than 30 cases accepted, three cases could be
nominated). A Track Chair does not have to nominate a case if
no cases are accepted that appear to be worthy of the nomination.
A Track Chair cannot nominate his or her own case (or co-authored
case) in the year that he or she serves as a Track Chair. The
President-elect will serve as chair of the “as presented”
awards committee comprised of no less than three members, none
of whom will be track chairs (who have nominated the cases).

economics or finance as presented at a roundtable at the NACRA

of service of Jonathan Welch as the Track Chair of the Economics/Finance
