The AWG Professional Excellence Awards will go to women who, throughout their careers, have made distinguished contributions in each of the three following professional areas: government/regulatory; private industry/consulting; and academia/research. Nominees need not be members of AWG and those without memberships will receive a one-year professional membership with their award. For nominations, please send the following items as PDF via email or mail: a letter summarizing the nominee's most important accomplishments in professional areas that demonstrates multidisciplinary geologic accomplishments within their realm of expertise; the nominee's CV; and two letters of support, which can be from non-members of AWG, with a maximum of five letters. The applicants must specify which of the three awards they are applying for. Please visit the award's website or contact the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) for more information.
