Awardees are selected for their commitment to labor-management relations, professional competence, moral integrity, and concern for the community. FOUR awards are presented each year to actively functioning representatives

Union Official – either elected or appointed.
Management Representative – either public or private sector.
Rev. Ed Boyle, SJ – Auxiliary – embraces such groups as arbitrators, academics, and public agency personnel, and support professionals.
Labor-Management Counsel – Attorneys in private practice serving as counsel for either management or labor. This year’s award is for a labor-side attorney.
