RE:    Younger Member Award Nominations Due February 1, 2011

The Committee on Younger Members (CYM) would like to remind you about nominations for the six Younger Member Awards listed below.  The deadline for all award nominations is just a week away - February 1, 2011.  Please forward this e-mail to all Younger Members in your Section/Branch.  Nomination forms and additional information for all awards may be found at http://www.asce.org/Content.aspx?id=8712.  Please be sure to use the proper form for the current award year as some forms have changed from last year.

The DANIEL W. MEAD PRIZE is awarded on the basis of paper on professional ethics. This topic for this year's paper is:  "Is it ethical for engineers to develop an infrastructure report card when their industry will likely be the ones rewarded financially for addressing the resulting infrastructure concerns?"   Authors must be Members, Associate Members, or Affiliate Members of ASCE who are 35 years of age or less as of February 1, 2011.  (A separate contest is held for Student Members.)

The EDMUND FRIEDMAN YOUNG ENGINEER AWARD FOR PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT recognizes the professional contributions of Younger Members of the Society for service, technical competence, high character, integrity, and leadership. Candidates must be Members, Associate Members, or Affiliate Members of ASCE who are 35 years of age or less as of February 1, 2011.

The YOUNG GOVERNMENT CIVIL ENGINEER AWARD recognizes distinguished civil engineers employed in public service for demonstrated leadership potential in Public Service Engineering. Candidates must be Members, Associate Members, or Affiliate Members of ASCE who were 35 years of age or less as of February 1, 2011.  In addition, they must have at least five (5) years of full-time employment in the public sector. 

The YOUNGER MEMBER GROUP AWARD recognizes the most outstanding Large and Small Younger Member Groups in the Society.  Please note that the criteria for the Large and Small Younger Member Groups is included in the award nomination form.

The COLLINGWOOD PRIZE is awarded to the author(s) of a paper (1) describing an engineering work with which the author(s) have been directly connected, or (2) recording the investigations contributing to engineering knowledge to which the author(s) have contributed some essential part, and (3) containing a rational digest of results.  Author(s) must be Members, Associate Members, or Affiliate Members of ASCE who were 35 years of age or less at the time the paper was submitted in its final form.

The YOUNGER MEMBER WEBSITE OF THE YEAR AWARD promotes and encourages Younger Member Groups to host a website to share information with its members.  Please be sure to read the rules very carefully in advance as the YMG web site will be judged by the most current information available on the site among several other criteria.  Nominations are due on February 1st and CYM will recognize the website of the year for a Large and Small Younger Member Group at the 2011 Annual Conference in Memphis, TN. 

If you have any questions, you may contact me (information below) or Nancy Berson at nberson at asce.org.

We look forward to your submittals.
