CGEA Laureate Background

Background
At the summer meeting of the CGEA Executive Committee, Fred Ficklin, at the behest of Bob Wigton, raised the issue of developing an "award" or other method to recognize those individuals who had made a substantive contribution to the CGEA. Fred and Deb Simpson agreed to develop a proposal outlining such an award and forward it to the CGEA Executive for review prior to the fall meeting.
Assumptions
The CGEA has a number of senior individuals who have made significant contributions to shaping the organization, program, and activities of the group. These individuals should be recognized as "charter members" of the organization. The award should be used not only to recognize senior members of the group (end of career award) but to reinforce the importance of contributions from individuals from all career levels as we seek to stimulate continued investment in the CGEA. The strength of the CGEA lies in the broad-based participation of its membership and the award recipients should be drawn from both informal and formal leaders.
