2019 Environmental Communications Awards
We all know how important communicating complex and challenging issues to stakeholders and partners can be. Effectively communicating with the public at large and other constituents is equally as important. With this in mind, AAEES is inviting you to enter this year's Environmental Communications Awards competition. The Academy is proud to offer this area of competition and invites consulting firms and municipalities alike to enter. The deadline to upload your entry is March 1, 2019. For entry forms and guidelines, go to http://www.aaees.org/ecommcompetition/.
2019 AAEES Kappe Lecturer
The 2019 Kappe Lecturer is Nancy G. Love, Ph.D., P.E., BCEE.
Dr. Nancy G. Love is the Borchardt and Glysson Collegiate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University Michigan, and an adjunct Professor at the Institute of Biotechnology at Addis Ababa University. She will be visiting university campuses during the 2019 fall semester. The objective of the Kappe Lecture Series is to share the knowledge of today's practitioners with tomorrow's engineers and scientists.
For abstracts of the lectures she has prepared and reservation information, go to http://www.aaees.org/kappelectureseries/. The reservation deadline is March 15, 2019. Schools that host a Kappe Lecturer will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis, so submit your requests as soon as possible.
2019 Environmental Engineering and Science Resource Guidebook - Sign Up for Your Listing
The Academy invites you to sign up for a listing in the 2019 Environmental Engineering and Science Resource Guidebook. We are releasing the Guidebook in both electronic and print format to make this year's edition easier to use and easier to distribute to individuals and organizations looking to connect with environmental specialists. We are expanding the content that each listing receives – enabling web links in the e-version and providing more room to post information on your specialties in both versions. We expect to print and distribute the new publication more widely than we have in the past, with a special focus on outreach at the trade events and conferences we attend during the year. We are also planning an expanded role for the Guidebook in making federal, state, and local agencies aware of the capabilities of our members in helping deal with current environmental engineering needs.
Ask your organization's sales and marketing team to reserve its space by March 31, 2019. It provides great exposure for a small investment. For details, email JSOlmo@aaees.org. Click here to download the 2019 Reservation Form.
