EWRI Institute/Council Awards

The selection process for EWRI Institute/Council Awards, which are the property of EWRI, are not subject to ASCE approval.

To nominate a peer for an EWRI Institute/Council Award you need to submit your nominations to the appropriate EWRI Council Awards Committee by November 1st. After the Council Awards Committee and Council approve the recipients, they must submit the EWRI Notification of Selection Committee Recommendation Form(s) to the EWRI Awards Committee via the online submission form by December 15th. Once all awards are approved by the EWRI Awards Committee they are forwarded onto the EWRI Governing Board (GB) for approval. After receiving EWRI GB approval, notification letters are distributed to the award winners inviting them to receive their award at the EWRI Congress.

You are encouraged to start the selection process early, as December 15th is the deadline for Council Awards Committee to submit their winner selections to the EWRI Awards Committee for final approval.

**ONLY complete EWRI Notification of Selection Committee Recommendation Forms received by December 15th from council awards committees will be accepted as submissions by the EWRI Awards Committee (Emails containing some/all information will not constitute an award winner submission). EWRI Institute/Council Winner Form(s) received AFTER the December 15th deadline will not be a part of the Award Presentations at the EWRI Congress for that year (For example, if forms are received AFTER December 15, 2008, the award winner will not receive his/her award at the 2009 EWRI Congress). Forms which are received AFTER the December 15th deadline will be held for consideration by the respective council awards committee for the next fiscal year’s EWRI Congress Award Presentation (The ASCE/EWRI fiscal year runs from Oct. 1st to Sept. 30th).

Once the Council Awards Committee has made their selections and award winners have been approved by their Council, an EWRI Notification of Selection Committee Recommendation Form for each of their award winners should be submitted to the EWRI Awards Committee via the online form. The EWRI Notification of Selection Committee Recommendation Forms must be received by December 15th (As listed above, late/incomplete/incorrect submissions will not be accepted).

If there are any changes which need to be made to the Council Awards Committee roster, please email arountree@asce.org. If you have any questions, please contact EWRI or the EWRI Awards Committee Chair.
