About
Awards : Willis Rodney Whitney Award
This award is given for significant contributions to corrosion science, such as the development or improvement of a theory that provides a more fundamental understanding of corrosion phenomena and/or the prevention of corrosion. An individual may qualify who has made a major contribution to corrosion science through some form of education or works that leads to a better understanding of the science of corrosion.
A statement of biographical and bibliographical information should be included with the nomination only to the extent that it substantiates the person's eligibility for the award. Important criteria can be total publications (the contribution of the published materials is more important than a list of all publications), patents, awards, special recognition, etc. Membership in other organizations has no bearing on the award, nor do activities in NACE.
The recipients of the Frank Newman Speller Award and the Willis Rodney Whitney Award will be invited by the chair of the Awards Committee to present special award lectures at the NACE Annual Conference at which they receive their awards. Each award recipient will be asked to provide a written copy of his/her lecture before it is presented at the conference so that it can be published in one of the NACE journals.
No posthumous nominations will be accepted. A nominee need not be a member of NACE. No more than one award will be given in any year.
