Following a bequest from Lady Callaway’s estate, a small monetary award is made at the ASME National Conference to a recipient resident in that State or Territory. National Executive determined that the local ASME chapter council is to seek nominations for the Lady Callaway Award, and to decide on the winner of the award. The first award was made in 2009, and is presented at the ASME National Conference.
ASME National Executive determined that the award winner should be an early-career music educator who has supported the cause of music education, particularly through the provision of piano accompaniment for educational purposes, as this was an area of particular interest to Lady Callaway.
