FPEG Awards and Fellowships

Professional Development Award

The Florida Professional Engineers in Government Professional Development Award is presented annually to the nominated government agency which has made the most outstanding contribution to the advancement and improvement of the engineering profession through its employment practices and professional development policies. Its purpose is to recognize those agencies and to encourage all agencies to adopt progressive policies and practices in accord with established professional practices as outlined in Guidelines to Professional Employment for Engineers and Scientists.

The final selection for the FPEG Professional Development Award will be made by the FPEG Administrative Committee. The factors considered are those outlined in the form, including indoctrination, conditions of employment, recruiting practices, utilization of personnel, encouragement of registration, compensation, professional development and internal communications. The Committee reserves the right not to select a recipient for a given year if, in its opinion, none of the nominations is of sufficient stature or quality to justify the award.

Incomplete forms may lead to disqualification or low rating of nominee. Forms submitted, therefore, should be complete and contain precise and accurate data.
