2. Award recipients must be living at the time of selection.

3. Nominators are asked to prepare the nomination without the knowledge of the nominee. The nominee’s family and/or colleagues should be asked to provide input for the nomination package. Once the selection is made, the OSA Chair will notify the nominators and the award recipient(s).

4. The DVEW Advisory Committee, composed of former Delaware Valley Engineers of the Year, will make the selection. The committee is authorized to conduct research beyond the nomination form, to verify the accomplishments as presented in the nomination.
