TO: Engineering Organizations in the Washington, D. C. Area
You are invited to nominate a staff member from your organization
for special recognition during Engineers' Week.
A similar invitation is being extended to other organizations
having engineering, architectural, or scientific activities in
the Metropolitan Washington area. Three young professional men,
one architect, one applied scientist, andoneengineer, will contri-
bution honored on Wednesday, February 19, 1964, as part
bution of the D. C. Council of Engineering and Architectural
Societies and the Washington Academy of Sciences to the nation-
wide observance of Engineers' Week. Nominations must be received
no later than February 5, 1964.
The major objective of the program is the development of profes-
sional and public awareness of the contributions made by younger
members of these professions and a stimulation of interest in the
engineering, architectural and scientific areas by young people
who are preparing for a professional career. It is hoped that
this increased awareness on the part of young people in high
school and college will result in an increased supply of competent
personnel into our professions.
Attached is a sheet outlining the criteria for nominations. The
award to each of the three winners will consist of a suitably
engraved gold key, known as the National Capital Award, and a
certificate, to be presented during a luncheon to be held on
Wednesday, February 19, 1964, at the Presidential Arms.
Sincerely yours,
W. E. Lear, Chairman
