Purpose
Elevation of a member to Fellow of the Society is formal
recognition of outstanding members. The award also
commemorates the lifelong contributions made to the Adhesion
community by the late Robert L. Patrick.
Selection Criteria
The nominee must have provided outstanding contributions to
the field of adhesion over a sustained period. Such
contributions can be in the form of service to the adhesion
community, broad and productive research and/or teaching, or
other conspicuous achievement in the field of adhesion.
Nominees have been members of the Adhesion Society for five
years at the time of nomination. Elevation to fellowship will
be granted without regard to age, nationality or field of
expertise.
However, the President, VP,
and the Members at Large are not eligible for being elevated
to Fellow status until after the conclusion of their term in
these positions.
Nomination Procedure
A nomination package must be submitted to the
President of the Society by October 30, of the year prior
to selection. The
nomination must contain:
-
A letter of nomination not to exceed
3 pages. The letter must summarize the achievements that
make the nominee worthy of fellowship.
-
Three seconding letters from other
members of the Adhesion Society. Only one of the letters
may originate from the Institution where the nominee is
employed. Although international support is not a
requirement, it will strengthen the nomination package.
-
A brief citation appropriate for a
plaque or certificate honoring the nominee.
-
The nominee’s resume or curriculum
vitae.
Any member of the
Adhesion Society may submit a nomination package. Nominations
will remain active for three years after submission.
Selection Procedure
Selection of Fellows will be made by the Executive Committee.
A nomination must receive a two-thirds vote of the Executive
Committee to be approved.
