DR. GEORGE H. BAHDER MEMORIAL AWARD
This Award is for engineering contributions that have enhanced the quality of insulated conductor cable systems utilized for electric power delivery via transmission, distribution, and station circuits.
This Award will be conferred only when deemed by the ICC Selection Committee for this prestigious Award. It is not either an annual or time scheduled Award.
The Award will consist of a plaque and a $2,500 donation, which will be made, in the recipient's name to an electric power engineering department at a university or college of the recipient's choice. The department will be requested to use the donation as an educational scholarship to support a graduate or undergraduate student. The department will also be requested to identify the individual supported by this scholarship.
The Award can be conferred posthumously. For this eventuality the heirs will receive the plaque and designate which university or college is to receive the donation.
Considerations in Evaluating Nominees
- Nominee to have had a minimum of 10 years of Insulated Conductors Committee membership.
- Technical leadership in cable systems design and or development.
- Significant contributions toward improving the safety, reliability, and economy of cable systems for electric energy conversion and delivery within the Scope of the Insulated Conductors Committee.
- Achievements in the fields of insulated electric power cable systems; including R & D, testing developments, field applications, and operational practices.
The Nominator is expected to submit documentation to assist the ICC Selection Committee in their evaluation of the Nominee. The Nominator is encouraged to recommend Endorsers to support the Nomination with additional documentation. It is desirable for the Selection Committee to receive documentation from at least three Endorsers.
The importance of the quality of the Nomination and the Endorsements cannot be overemphasized. The documentation is a valuable reference for the Selection Committee. The information provided will have a major impact on the deliberations of the Selection Committee.
