Nomination Categories

Selecting the most appropriate nomination category is a very important part of the nomination process. The Fellow Members Committee will evaluate the nominee within the context of this category, so be sure you select the category that best matches the nominee's most significant contributions. Your narrative should also clearly support the nomination category you selected.

Acknowledging that many members make contributions across several categories we are now providing nominators with the option to select a primary and secondary nomination category. Please remember that this is completely optional, only one category is required.

Nomination Categories:

  1. Business Leadership
  2. Education
  3. Engineering, Application and Development
  4. Engineering and Science Research
  5. Technical Leadership
  6. Volunteer/Professional Service
