TAA Executive Director Kim Pawlak received the 2025 TAA President’s Award from TAA Board President Paul Krieger. The TAA President’s Award is given at the discretion of the TAA Board President based on service given to TAA in the past year.
“This distinguished honor reflects your exceptional leadership, vision, and tireless dedication to the mission of the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA),” said Krieger.
“Under your guidance as Executive Director, TAA has flourished. Your strategic leadership has significantly expanded the Association’s membership, bringing together a broader, more diverse community of academic and textbook authors. You have championed innovative programming, strengthened member support services, and enhanced the visibility and impact of TAA across the academic landscape.
Your work has empowered numerous authors, elevated professional standards, and fostered a thriving community where scholarship and collaboration can flourish. The growth and success of TAA during your tenure are a direct result of your insight, hard work, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
This President’s Award is a well-earned recognition of the meaningful difference you have made—not just within the organization, but throughout the broader academic publishing community. You deserve to have your accomplishments acknowledged in this way.
Congratulations once again on this outstanding achievement. I wish you continued success and look forward to seeing the many ways you will continue to shape the future of textbook and academic authorship.”
Pawlak was hired as TAA’s Executive Director in January 2023.
“I am honored to have received this award from you, Paul,” said Pawlak. “Thank you so much for recognizing my efforts. Your support and guidance have been invaluable to me and it has been an honor to work under your leadership. This recognition is not only a testament to my personal commitment to my work at TAA, but also a reflection of the support and dedication of my team.
