The International Advisor of the Year Award recognizes one exceptional advisor among all Golden Key chapters worldwide. The selected advisor will receive a commemorative plaque and US$1,000.

Eligibility: All currently active Golden Key chapter advisors (not graduate advisors) who have served for a total of at least two full academic years (can be at different institutions) may apply for or be nominated for these awards. These awards will typically be made to one individual advisor but in exceptional cases may be awarded to a team of two or more advisors when recommended by a single chapter. The current Council of Advisors and International Leadership Council members and board members may not apply or be nominated.
