Recipients of the 2006 President's Award for Section Excellence
SPE is proud to announce the 2005 recipients of the President's Award for Section Excellence. This award is given to up to six outstanding sections annually based on their innovative programs and events conducted during the year. SPE received 27 award applications this year. Due to the many exemplary submissions during the last two years, the SPE Membership Committee created a second tier of recognition: Most Improved Section and Most Innovative New Program. These awards acknowledge sections that have grown their membership or developed successful programs. They serve to encourage other sections to implement similar initiatives.
