Every year AISES recognizes outstanding individual achievement through the Professional Awards Program. Winners are selected by a committee of distinguished leaders from organizations that partner with AISES. When that group convenes to devote their time and expertise to weighing the Professional Awards nominations, every member has a difficult task. Because nominations, which are invariably both impressive and inspiring, arrive from across our membership, selecting the five winners is never easy. The winner of the Professional of the Year Award is selected based on overall leadership and technical achievement, and the remaining four awards are made based on achievements in specific categories. Here are the winners.
