The ACM SIGAda Awards Program recognizes individuals and organizations that
have made significant contributions
to the Ada community and to the SIGAda organization.  The two categories of
awards are:

        Outstanding Ada Community Contribution Award
                -- Recognizes broad, lasting contributions to Ada technology & usage.

        ACM SIGAda Distinguished Service Award
                -- Recognizes exceptional contributions to SIGAda activities & products.

Your support will maintain the prestige and honor of these awards.

Please consider who should be nominated this year.  You may nominate a
person for either or both awards, and as many people as you think worthy.

You can a see a list of past recipients on our Web page,
www.acm.org/sigada/awards.  These may help you think about the measure of
accomplishment that is appropriate.  People who have received either of the
two awards remain eligible for the other.  You may be aware of people who
have made substantial contributions that have not yet been acknowledged.
 Nominate them.  Consider what you believe to be the best developments in
the Ada community or SIGAda in the last year; the last 5 years; since Ada's
inception.  Who was responsible?  Nominate them.

The awards committee, volunteers who have previously won an award, will
determine the recipients.

Call our attention to the people who are most deserving, by nominating
them.  And please nominate by 30 September!

Thank you,
Edward Colbert
Chair
SIGAda Awards Committee
