(See http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2003/ if you have somehow missed announcements of this year's annual SIGAda international conference.) We welcome your nominations of deserving recipients. The ACM SIGAda Awards recognize individuals and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to the Ada community and to SIGAda. The two categories of awards are: (1) Outstanding Ada Community Contribution Award -- For broad, lasting contributions to Ada technology & usage. (2) ACM SIGAda Distinguished Service Award -- For exceptional contributions to SIGAda activities & products. Please consider who should be nominated this year. You may nominate a person for either or both awards, and as many people as you think worthy. One or more awards will be made in both categories. Please visit http://www.acm.org/sigada/exec/awards/awards.html#Recipients and peruse the names of past winners. This may help you think about the measure of accomplishment that is appropriate. You may be aware of people who have made substantial contributions that have not yet been acknowledged. Nominate them. Consider what you believe to be the best developments in the Ada community or SIGAda in the last year; the last 5 years; since Ada's inception. Who was responsible? Nominate them. Please note that anyone who has received either of the two awards remains eligible for the other. Perhaps there is an outstanding SIGAda volunteer who has won our Distinguished Service Award and who has also made impactful contributions to the advance of Ada technology, or visa versa. Nominate him or her! The nomination form is at the end of this message and on the SIGAda website at http://www.acm.org/sigada/exec/awards/awards.html. (You need to visit this website to see past award winners' names, and also a picture of the statuette which is the award among other things, so you don't nominate someone who has already won an award in a category.) The ACM SIGAda Awards Committee, comprised of volunteers who have previously won an award, will determine this year's recipients from your nominations. Call our attention to the people who are most deserving, by nominating them. And please nominate by NOVEMBER 16! Your participation in the nominations process will help maintain the prestige and honor of these awards.
