The Board of Trustees of the Society recognizes that many of its Corporate Members have made significant, but largely unrecognized, improvements in the stewardship of our environment. In 1997, the Corporate Environmental Achievement Award (CEAA) was established where outstanding environmental achievements made by Corporate Members in the field of ceramics would be recognized by the annual presentation of the award. These achievements would represent either: a significant improvement of an existing process and/or product, or the development and implementation of a new process and/or product In both cases the process and/or product would demonstrate improvements in one or more of the following areas: reduction in undesirable effluent streams expanded recycling of materials measurable environmental benefits over previously established processes The award winners will be selected by a sub-committee made up from members of the Committee on Ceramic Environmental Stewardship. A maximum of two awards may be made each year. Nominations can be submitted by any member of the Society. It is not necessary for the process and/or product to be developed solely by one company and joint nominations can be submitted. Any member can submit a nomination on behalf of a Corporate Member company. The Nominating Process Any member can submit a nomination on behalf of an organization, whom must be a current corporate member or join as a corporate member in order to qualify for the award. Nominations should consist of a concise description of the achievement (500 words maximum) outlining its significance in terms of a description of the achievement and its impact on the environment. Appropriate back-up documents which would further aid in the evaluation are also requested. It is strongly recommended that these back up documents be closely coordinated with the summary description. Nominations will be evaluated and the winners selected and forwarded to the Board of Trustees for approval. Those nominations not selected for an award will remain eligible for consideration over the next two years. Joint nominations where two or more companies have combined resources to develop a process and/or product, can be submitted. In this case it is recommended that a representative from one company be selected to coordinate the effort and act as a spokesperson. To better understand what is expected, read the evaluation process instructions given to subcommittee members as a basis for judging the nominations.
