Subject: 2021 Nominee for Engineer of the Year and 2021 Nominee for Young Engineer of the Year
Dear Friends,
Planning for 2021 E-Week is now underway! Because of the situation with COVID-19, this year we will be honoring outstanding Vermont engineers and student engineers with a festive virtual celebration instead of our annual banquet. Additional specific details about this event will be forthcoming, but we are proceeding in the hope that all of our professional colleagues will continue to celebrate our important profession even in these trying times. As is customary, each Vermont technical and professional engineering society may nominate one candidate for Engineer of the Year and one candidate for Young Engineer of the Year. The various forms and guidance documents that the society should consider in selecting their nominees are links on this site. Each society should provide respective forms, checklists and guidance information to each EOY and YEOY nominee as each nominee is largely responsible for preparation of their responses to the Selection Criteria and Requests for Information per the Nomination Checklist and Nominee Ranking forms. Each applicant/nominee should be strongly encouraged to structure their application response in the order and format that follows the respective EOY and YEOY Nominee Ranking Form. The Selection Committee encourages the nominating society to participate with their nominee(s) in preparation of the application responses as they deem appropriate. Societies may, and are encouraged to, resubmit a prior year nominee whom they consider worthy of the professional recognition. The linked forms on this site include:
- 2021 Engineer of the Year and 2021 Young Engineer of the Year Award Nomination Form and Nomination Form Checklists. Nomination forms are to be completed by the society and their nominee. Provide a copy of Nomination Check List to nominee.
- Procedures for Selecting the Engineer of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year for Vermont Engineers Week. This document should be provided to each nominee.
- Engineer of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year Nominee Ranking Forms. Provide a copy to each nominee.
The Chair of the 2021 EOY/YEOY Selection Committee is the 2019 Engineer of the Year, Janette Bombardier, P.E. Nomination packages are due back to her via email (PDF format only) as described in the attachments, no later than Friday, January 15, 2021. Questions regarding either the selection process or nomination packages for Engineer of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year should be directed to Janette by email at or contact her at 802-233-8018.
