While yes, this is the SAWE, I also find it important that we recognize our chapter members for accomplishments in other societies as well.\u00a0 For those that don’t know, Bill was recently awarded the status of Honorary Fellow with the SAWE at the 2016 International Conference in Denver, Colorado. I was honored to receive his award for him that night in his absence as\u00a0a Hampton Roads Chapter member and sitting President of the chapter.<\/p>\n
This spring\/summer, several chapter members worked to help get Bill nominated for the status of SNAME Fellow.\u00a0 David Hansch,\u00a0an SAWE Fellow\u00a0who is also\u00a0very active in SNAME,\u00a0led the\u00a0effort and Bill Boze, our SAWE President and Honorary Fellow,\u00a0and myself were happy to write\u00a0letters of recommendation\u00a0to endorse him, along with another, David Chapman.\u00a0 Fortunately, Bill’s nomination was accepted and SNAME has bestowed upon him the status of Fellow!<\/p>\n
Please see Bill’s notification letter from SNAME and congratulate him on his status in both international societies.\u00a0 Of course, for those that know Bill, his history with Naval Architecture makes him an easy nomination.\u00a0 Congratulations Bill Fox!\u00a0 Notification to Newly-Elevated Fellow_William A.
