You are invited to nominate a staff member from your organ-
ization 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, and one engineer will be honored
on Thursday, 25 February 1960, as part of the contribution of the
Do Co Council of Engineering and Architectural Societies and the
Washington Academy of Sciences to the nationwide observance of
Engineerse Week. Nominations must be received no later than
8 February 1960.
The major objective of the program is the development of a
professional 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 young
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 at
12:30 p.m., Thursday, 25 February 1960 at the Presidential Arms.
Sincerely,
