Piteau Award

This award, established in 1985, is named in honor of Douglas R. Piteau, a deceased Member of the Association who distinguished himself early in his career as an expert on landslides and rock slope stability. This award is presented to a Member who is age 35 or under (not 36 until January 1 in the year following the Annual Meeting in which the Award is given) and has excelled, either singly or in combination, in the following areas: Technical Accomplishment, Service to the Association, and Service to the Engineering Geology Profession. Each Chapter is, at its discretion, to choose an individual deserving of the Award, to publicize the nomination at the Chapter level, and to nominate the individual to the Awards Committee. Nominations can also be made by the membership at large to the Awards Committee. The Committee, at its discretion, selects a candidate from the nominees for the President’s confirmation. The Award, not necessarily conferred annually, consists of an engraved plaque which is presented at the Annual Banquet. 

Nominations are due by March 15.
