ENR Regionals Legacy Award
ENR Regionals Seeking Entries for 2020 Legacy Awards
 

Do you know people who have established a solid “legacy” of lifetime service to the AEC industry and their colleagues? Movers. Shakers. Mentors. True professionals who have gone above and beyond their duties for decades?

Consider nominating them for a Legacy Award in one of the 10 ENR regions. The winners will be honored during this year’s Best Projects events, and we will write a profile story about them in an upcoming ENR regional magazine. There is no charge to submit a nomination.

The Legacy Award is given annually by ENR regional editors to individuals in their areas who have achieved a lifetime legacy of service, both to the AEC industry and to their communities.

Eligibility

Individuals may be nominated by industry colleagues, themselves or ENR editors. Age, working status (still working in the industry or retired), and professional roles or titles are not major factors in the nominations.

Selection Criteria

Individual nominees must have demonstrated significant lifelong contributions to the industry as a whole and to their chosen professions. There are no forms to fill out or entry fees to pay. Here’s the nomination process:

  • Nominations for an individual are initiated through a short (preferably one-page) letter of reference from the individual’s nominator or colleague(s) familiar with key elements of his/her career. This letter should be addressed to the ENR editor covering the region in which the nominee works.
  • Nominations must also include a full business curriculum vitae, with career highlights, including innovations and key projects or initiatives worked on or managed.
  • Optional: Nominations can also include list of publications, white papers, articles, news stories written about (or authored by) the individual relevant to his/her career. Photos of work are encouraged as well. A color mug shot is optional, but recommended.
  • Optional: Nominations can also include a summary of the individual’s key activities outside the industry: community service, mentoring, teaching, political or government offices held, etc.
  • Names of the nominators may be kept confidential from the candidate (if requested) until the process has reached the finalists’ stage.
  • Nominee finalists may be asked to submit a short letter or statement about their interest in the award and provide other information as requested before final selection. The regional ENR editors will vote collectively to decide the winners.
Deadline

The nomination deadline is Friday, August 14, 2020.

Companies may enter more than one nominee, as long as they are in different regions where the company works. Only one nominee per company per region, please. Please send your nomination letter to the appropriate regional editor(s) below.
