The IASH Lifetime Achievement Award
The second association award is The IASH Lifetime Achievement for sustained technical contributions in Fuel Stability and Handling, and recognizes significant contributions to a better understanding of the operational and scientific factors that affect the stability and handling of liquid fuels during their manufacture and blending, transportation, storage, or use. (This award was previously named for the late Dr. John D. Bacha but since the introduction of the third award below, it has reverted to the name now given.)
The award is for sustained work over a period of time rather than a single contribution.
Any member in good standing may nominate another member for this award. The nomination must be endorsed by at least two other members, and must include a brief narrative statement of the nominee's qualifications, relative to the following criterion. The nominee must be widely recognized among his/her peers for work advancing understanding of the factors that influence fuel stability and handling. Significant publications shall be considered, but will not be a major factor in judging a nominee's qualifications for this award.
