EWRI Expressions of Appreciation
[Top of
Page]
It is customary to recognize the routine service of any member of the EWRI who has satisfactorily completed a term of service on the GB or any committee or council
There are three types of EWRI approved certificates of appreciation
Type 1 - Given to the outgoing EWRI GB members, outgoing EXCOM members, outgoing members of other committees/councils reporting directly to the EWRI GB and other EWRI members or nonmembers that the EWRI GB feels is especially deserving. The certificate consists of one of several standard certificates preprinted for each position title, the committee name, and the recipient's name. An appropriate frame or mounting is provided. Only the EWRI GB can authorize Type 1 certificates. Normally those certificates are presented at a function at which the GB members are in attendance. However, the committee/council may request approval to present the certificate at a conference or similar event at which the EWRI GB might not be in attendance.
Type 2 - Given to other outgoing standing committee/council members. The certificate consists of a standard service certificated preprinted with the words "FOR SERVICES AS COMMITTEE/ COUNCIL CHAIR (or other appropriate designation)", the committee name, and the recipient's name. A frame or mounting may be provided. The appropriate EXCOM may authorize the issuance of Type 2 certificates and may present those at a time and place at its discretion.
Type 3 - All other certificates of appreciation (e.g. conference steering committee members, task committee members, etc) take the form of a standard certificate with the recipient's name and citation typed thereon. A frame or mounting may be provided. The appropriate EXCOM may authorize the issuance of Type 3 certificates and may present those at a time and place at its discretion.
