Each year the Catal­y­sis Club of Philadel­phia rec­og­nizes an out­stand­ing mem­ber of the catal­y­sis com­mu­ni­ty, who has made sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions to the advance­ment of Catal­y­sis. Such advance­ment can be sci­en­tif­ic, tech­no­log­i­cal, or in orga­ni­za­tion lead­er­ship. The Award con­sists of a plaque and a $1000 cash prize.

We appre­ci­ate your help in sub­mit­ting nom­i­na­tions. The entire nom­i­na­tion pack­age, includ­ing a resume and rec­om­men­da­tion let­ters, should not be more than 10 pages. The dead­line for the receipt of nom­i­na­tions is April 15, 2010. Pri­or nom­i­na­tion pack­ages sent in 2007 or lat­er will auto­mat­i­cal­ly be con­sid­ered for the 2010 Award.

Nom­i­na­tion let­ter along with sup­port­ing mate­ri­als should be emailed to chenh@​jmusa.​com.
