Call for SIGAda Award Nominations

Call for SIGAda Award Nominations

[John McCormick]

Dear Members of the Ada Community:

On Wednesday, 15 November 2006, the 2006 SIGAda Awards will be
presented in a special morning plenary session at the SIGAda 2006
conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  (See
http://www.acm.org/sigada/conf/sigada2006/ 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 important contributions to the advance of Ada technology, or visa
versa.  Nominate him or her!

The nomination form is available 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.)  Submit
your nomination as an e-mail or e-mail attachment to
SIGAda-Award@ACM.ORG.

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 OCTOBER 15!

Your participation in the nominations process will help maintain the
prestige and honor of these awards.

Thank you,

John McCormick
Chair ACM SIGAda
