6. Nominating your mentor for the Derrick Hurlin Mentoring Award

The Derrick Hurlin Mentoring Award (DHMA) was set up in 2012 to recognise excellence in mentoring. This is in line with PEG’s drive to boost our organisation’s professional standing. The award is dedicated to the memory of Derrick Hurlin, whose family has kindly paid fora floating trophy for the award. Derrick was always ready to provide generous assistance to both fledgling and more experienced editors, and he is remembered with enormous respect and fondness by many PEG members. The annual Derrick Hurlin Mentoring Award honours his enormous contribution to the PEG Mentoring Scheme. Besides the name of the award, the trophy bears the words, ‘You have outdone yourself’, a vote of confidence often heard on Derrick’s lips! The Derrick Hurlin Mentoring Trophy will be awarded annually to a PEG member who has made an exceptional contribution to mentoring.
