[BLDG-SIM] REMINDER - IBPSA Awards

[Lori McElroy]

Dear IBPSA Members and Friends

THE DEADLINE IS LOOMING ­ 31ST AUGUST 2006

WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A FEW ENTRIES IN EACH CATEGORY BUT WOULD LIKE THIS
TO BE A REAL CONTEST!  FROM THE NUMBER OF EMAILS FLYING AROUND BLDG-SIM,
THERE MUST BE MORE WORTHY YOUNG CONTRIBUTORS, DISTINGUISED SIMULATORS AND
EMMINENT PRACTICES OUT THERE ­ SO PLEASE CONSIDER NOMINATING A WORTHY
INDIVIDUAL OR PRACTICE IN ANY OF THE THREE CATEGORIES LISTED BELOW:

In order to allow the awardees time to plan to attend, it is time to
consider nominations for the up-coming 2007 conference in Beijing, China.
We would now invite nominations in the usual three categories as listed
below and for each category we will require a brief CV or summary of work
(relating to the appropriate category) for the nominee(s) plus the
additional information outlined for each category below (Distinguished
Service Award, Young Contributor Award, and Outstanding Practice).

Nominations should be sent in the first instance to Lori McElroy as
representative of the Awards Committee ­ lori.mcelroy at thelighthouse.co.uk by
a closing date of the 31st August 2006.

We hope that there will be a good competition this time, so please contact
me to discuss a possible nomination if required.  We also hope that
nominations will be made for the Distinguished Practice Award this time
around, as no award was made in this category last time, despite the fact
that there is plenty of appropriate talent Worldwide.

Kind regards

Lori McElroy
