It is that time of year to start working on your nominations for the 2021 Engineering News-Record–ACE Outstanding Mentor! Due to the rescheduling of the national board meeting to June 7, 2021, affiliates have an extra month to prepare nominations. They are due April 9, 2021.
In 2021 ACE will honor up to 5 Outstanding Mentors. A panel of previous Outstanding Mentors will judge nominations made by affiliate leaders. Affiliates whose mentors are selected as 2021 Engineering News-Record–ACE Outstanding Mentors will receive a scholarship to be named after the Outstanding Mentor.
