Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award
The Cincinnati Section of ASCE recognizes its own outstanding professionals by selecting a distinguished member annually who has made significant contributions to the civil engineering profession. A presidential panel evaluates nominees based on their professional engineering attributes and contributions to the civil engineering industry. The presentation is made at the annual awards banquet each spring.
