OOAE MEMBERS WHO ARE ASME FELLOWS

 

OOAE DIVISION ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The OOAE Division Achievement Award was established on December 12, 1985 in recognition of OOAE primary members who have contributed significantly to the organization of division-sponsored conferences symposia. The award plaque is presented to recipients annually or biennially by the OOAE Division. ASME members with OOAE Division as primary can nominate. The nominees must have contributed significantly to the organizing of the OOAE Division sponsored symposia. The Committee recommends to the Executive Committee for final decisions. Normally Technical Program Committee recommends candidates. Division funding for the award is through industry donations.
