Congratulations to the 2008 IES-APA award recipients! The eight-member awards panel reviewed
each nomination and cast their votes for projects, agencies, or individuals which exemplified the spirit of the
category under which it was submitted. Each category can have just one winner. An Award of Merit can be offered
to those nominations which don't quite meet the category requirements, but are worthy of recognition. Also, in
some cases, the panel felt certain nominations more closely reflected alternative categories. As a result, three
nominations were moved to another category. Due to the high number of nominations in some categories this year,
the panel was unable to recognize every nomination with an award. However, each nomination we received is notable
and on behalf of the IES-APA Board, we thank you for your application.
The Awards Program will take place on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at the Historic Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. Be sure
to register for the Program early. We look forward to seeing you at this year's Awards Program!
