President’s Awards – Call for Nominations
The APEGBC President’s Awards are British Columbia’s top honours for professional engineers and professional geoscientists. The Association needs your help to identify deserving individuals within the engineering and geoscience community—professionals who serve as role models, excel at what they do and inspire others.
The awards program was created to recognize the exemplary and outstanding professional, technical and community contributions of APEGBC members, and allows the Association to showcase the professions to the public. Award winners are selected by a committee of APEGBC members based on nominations submitted by their peers. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2012 President’s Awards and the deadline for nominations is Friday, April 13, 2012.
There are seven categories of President’s Awards. They comprise meritorious achievement, community service, professional service, and teaching at the post-secondary level. A fifth award, the Young Professional Award, recognizes an individual no older than 35 years of age who combines professional achievement, community service and professional service early in his/her career. The other two awards, the R A McLachlan Memorial Award and the C J Westerman Memorial Award, are APEGBC’s premier awards for engineering and geoscience respectively. These two awards recognize those who have made a significant contribution to their profession, throughout their careers.
Nomination forms, along with information on the nomination process, can be found on the APEGBC website. If you have questions about nominating someone, contact Laurel Buss, Communications Officer at lbuss@apeg.bc.ca or (604) 412-6052.
