Awards for Leadership & TeachingTAIS Biennial AwardsTAIS has a tradition of honoring teachers and administrators during the TAIS Biennial Conference with two award categories. The Sawney Webb Award nominations and winners are determined by the TAIS Board of Directors. The Hubert Smothers Award recipients are nominated to the TAIS Board of Directors by a member of their school's administration. The Board creates a Selection Committee within the Board who determines the Hubert Smothers Award winners.

Because of his exemplary leadership, in 1986, TAIS established the Sawney Webb Award to honor administrators who have made outstanding contributions to the field of independent school education.
