From the beginning, SERVSIG has sought to be globally oriented and globally active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every year, the SERVSIG Board invites new volunteers to serve on the various awards committees. In the true SERVSIG spirit of inclusion, the SERVSIG Board members invite SERVSIG community members to serve and follow the defined award procedures (making sure to have representatives from various universities, continents, expertise, etc.). Based on the received proposals from the community and a defined procedure the award committee members chose the recipient. \u00a0They subsequently inform the SERVSIG board and the results are shared at the Frontiers in Service Conference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>SERVSIG Emerging Service Scholar Award Winners<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2025<\/strong> \u2013 Arne de Keyser \u2013 EDHEC Business School<strong><br \/><\/strong><em>Award Committee: Nicklas Salomonson (Chair), Valentina Pitardi, Olivier Furrer,\u00a0Susan Stead<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2024<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servsig.org\/wordpress\/?p=14655\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linda Alkire<\/a> \u2013 Texas State University<br \/><em>Award Committee: Shashi Matta (Chair), Sabine Benoit, Helen Chun, Samuel P.
