The document outlines the awards program initiated by Region 5 of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 2017, which includes the 'Wall of Fame' to honor significant contributions from civil engineers. The program recognizes an annual Civil Engineer of the Year, Young Civil Engineer of the Year, and up to three nominees for the Wall of Fame, who must meet specific criteria such as being a Fellow or Life Member of ASCE and endorsed by licensed professional engineers. The first recipients were honored in 2018, and the program aims to streamline the nomination process across various sections and branches of ASCE. The guide emphasizes the importance of proper recognition for award recipients, including collecting biographies and photographs for the Region's website. It also highlights the need for effective communication with all sections and branches to ensure widespread awareness of the awards. Minor modifications to the nomination process have been made after the first two years, and the document provides resources for applications and past winners, reinforcing the commitment to honoring civil engineering professionals within the community.
