Nominations for the Engineering Excellence Award will be solicited from the NRMCA Research, Engineering and Standards Committee and others. After receipt of ballots, a task group appointed by the RES Committee chairman will screen nominees. The screened list of nominees will be voted on by secret ballot by the active committee members. The Award will be presented at the NRMCA Annual Convention.
