CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

NIST GALLERY OF DISTINGUISHED

SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS AND ADMINISTRATORS

The NIST Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Scientists, Engineers and Administrators honors NBS/NIST alumni for outstanding career contributions to the work of NBS/NIST. Portraits and biographies of those selected are displayed in the corridor of the NIST cafeteria at Gaithersburg. Portraits of at most ten additional persons will be added to the Portrait Gallery in 2008. 

Any current or former NIST staff member may make a nomination. Nominations of alumni administrators of both programmatic and support units are welcome. Nominations are encouraged of distinguished women and minorities alumni, as well as of outstanding NBS staff members who retired before 1963. For the latter, it is understood that some requested data may no longer be available. For persons who were nominated last year, but not selected, a new nomination may be submitted.  If a nominee is not selected after two successive years of nomination, the nominee will not be considered in the following year.

Nomination instructions are available from the Standards Alumni Association, Room A-42 Admin, Mail Stop 0952, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-0952; telephone 301-975-2486; by email: alumni@nist.gov; or from the SAA website: www.nist.gov/director/saa. Nominations shall be received by the Standards Alumni Association on or before February 15, 2008, by mail or by email to the above addresses.  No exceptions will be made to this deadline.
