Bemis Memorial Award! This honor, bestowed by the International Personnel Assessment Council (IPAC), is unique because it celebrates not only the positive and significant ways that the awardee\u2019s work has promoted the principles of merit and fairness in personnel assessment, but also a commitment to freely and enthusiastically sharing their expertise and wisdom with others. Deb\u2019s HumRRO colleagues see these criteria as describing her perfectly\u2014one shared that \u201cher career is marked by example after example of being a service to her fellow practitioners\u2026I am at a loss for what to highlight,\u201d while another described Deb as \u201cthe ultimate team player and colleague, reliably available to assist or counsel others and share technical and career advice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Deb has decades of experience in all facets of personnel testing, her unique expertise centers on situational judgment testing (SJT)\u2014including assessment development, scoring, and implementation in a variety of high-stakes contexts. She is one of the leading SJT practitioners and \u201cmy go-to person for advice on the best approach for developing SJTs given clients\u2019 goals and constraints\u201d said a HumRRO manager, noting that \u201cher perspective always balances fairness with validity and she applies this balanced approach throughout the test development and implementation processes.\u201d This expertise is reflected in two books that Deb has co-edited: <em>Applied Measurement: Industrial Psychology in Human Resources Management<\/em> and <em>Applied Measurement Methods in Industrial Psychology<\/em>. She also manages HumRRO\u2019s work on the Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT) program for the U.S. Department of State.We are hard pressed to think of another practitioner in the field of personnel assessment who embodies the spirit of the Bemis Award as much as Deb, and we could not be any prouder.
