Nomination Form Jerome F. Lederer Award

The purpose of the Jerome F. Lederer Award is to recognize outstanding contributions to technical excellence in accident investigation. The Award is presented each year during the annual seminar to a recipient who is recognized for positive advancements in the art and science of air safety investigation.

The nomination process permits any member of ISASI to submit a nomination.

The nominee may be an individual, a group of individuals, or an organization. The nominee is not required to be an ISASI member.

The nomination may be for a single event, a series of events, or a lifetime of achievement.

The ISASI Awards Committee considers such traits as duration and persistence, standing among peers, manner and techniques of operating, and of course, achievements.

Once nominated, a nominee is considered for the next 3 years and then dropped. After an intervening year, the candidate may be nominated for another 3 years.

The nomination letter for the Lederer Award should be limited to a single page.

This Award is one of the most significant honors an accident investigator can receive; therefore, considerable care is given in determining the recipient. ISASI members should thoughtfully review their Association with professional investigators, and submit a nomination when they identify someone who has been outstanding in increasing the technical quality of accident investigation.

Nominations should be e-mailed to the ISASI office or directly to the Awards Committee chair, Dave King, kingdfk@aol.com. Nominations must be received by May 30th each year.
