Honorary Fellow Award Nomination

Criteria: Nominee’s stated qualifications will be evaluated on the following four criteria.

1. Record of Achievement: Outline reasons this person has achieved eminence in mass properties engineering. The record shall unequivocally show accomplishments resulting in outstanding contributions to the advancement of the Society and /or the profession of mass properties engineering.
2. Single Achievement: During the course of a year, a truly distinctive achievement can be internationally recognized and publicized. This must be a significant achievement resulting in a major contribution to the recognition or advancement of the Society and / or the profession of mass properties engineering.
3. International Service: Chapter service alone, though significant, is not considered sufficient for this award. A term as an International Officer in itself shall not necessarily constitute nominee criterion. Neither shall an Honorary Fellow award be construed as a reward for competent and continuous committee or session work at the international level. These factors can contribute as significant qualification points only in association with Criteria 1 or 2.
4. Public Relations: Awards are frequently bestowed by organizations upon prominent persons highlighted in the current news. That person may provide a ready-made bandwagon upon which to climb, thereby bringing the organization’s name before the public. It will be recognized that the unrestrained or indiscriminate bestowal of the award for publicity’s sake alone can quickly relegate to a status not in keeping with the intent. Only when awarded with prudence can recognition of the Society be publicized while maintaining the purpose, standards, and integrity of this award. The basic contingency shall be simple and not compromised. There shall be a recognized, well defined or clearly implied association between the individual’s publicized accomplishment and the acknowledgment that mass properties management and control contributed to the success of that accomplishment.
