On occasion, by vote of the Executive Committee, the Society gives a special award to a person inside or outside of community psychology who has advanced the interests or goals of the field. The Special Contribution Award is granted for a contribution that is outside of the scope of other SCRA sponsored awards. Reasons for recognition could include, but are not limited to, advancing public policy, having an impact on legislation; bringing significant resources to the field, or contributing to the development of the field by, for example, mentoring others.
