Distinguished Service Award
Recognizes contributions to the Society of Petroleum Engineers ONLY.
 

Public Service Award
The Public Service Award recognizes distinguished service to a country, state, community, or the public, with consideration given to local customs and differing cultural perspectives of public service.

This recognition is granted for excellence in:

• Leadership 
• Service 
• Humanitarianism 

Eligible contributions must demonstrate meaningful impact beyond the requirements of the nominee’s professional responsibilities and beyond service to SPE.

Examples of eligible activities include leadership, promotion, or participation in initiatives such as:

• Environmental stewardship and restoration (particularly in areas near oil industry activities) 
• Education and employment support 
• Volunteer service (e.g., hospitals, schools, child, or women’s welfare organizations) 
• Humanitarian efforts and human rights initiatives 
• Diversity and inclusion efforts 
• Fundraising and charitable campaigns 
• Reforestation activities 
• Public campaigns and community organizations
• Other efforts that directly improve a country, state, or community
   

Giovanni Paccaloni Young Professional Service Award 
The Giovanni Paccaloni Young Professional Service Award of the Society of Petroleum Engineers recognizes members in good standing and under the age of 36 for both:

• Excellence and leadership in service to the public and the community, in accordance with local customs.
• Service to the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the profession of petroleum engineering, or the petroleum industry.

Both above criteria are considered during the judging process for this award; however, they are weighted differently: service to the public and the community is given greater importance, accounting for 60% of the evaluation, whereas service to the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the profession of petroleum engineering, or the petroleum industry accounts for 40%.

While SPE-sponsored public or community services will be considered when evaluating candidates for this award, paid public or community services will not.
