Each year we honor individuals, leaders, and organizations that are recognized as exceptional in advocating for victims of sexual violence. In the Spring of each year, we solicit and review nominations for the annual SAAM Awards. The purpose of the awards is to recognize individuals or organizations that demonstrate an extraordinary commitment and service to victims of sexual violence. This award may also acknowledge individuals or organizations that improved the accessibility or appropriateness of systems for victims of sexual violence. 

This award may also acknowledge individuals or organizations that improved the accessibility or appropriateness of systems for victims of sexual violence. We convene a diverse committee of sexual violence professionals, advocates, and survivors to judge and make recommendations for awards based on the overall contributions of nominees such as yourself to the needs of victims of sexual violence and the positive impact (both short-term and long-term). These awards honor the significant commitment of individuals and organizations to victims of sexual violence and the efforts they are undertaking to eliminate sexual violence.
