HFES Fellows

Invitation for Applications for HFES Fellow

     The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society's Fellows Selection Committee invites applications for Fellows to be elected in 2010. "Fellow" is a special class of Society membership, as established in the Bylaws, Article I, Section 4. Individuals may apply for Fellow status on their own behalf, or they may submit an application on behalf of another.

     Election to Fellow status is an honor that recognizes outstanding achievement, consistently superior professional performance, exceptional contributions, service to the Society, and other meritorious accomplishments. Any Full Member of the Society in good standing (except members of the Fellows Selection Committee) may apply or nominate by completing the application forms for Fellow. No limitation is placed on the number of times a Member may be considered for election to Fellow.

     Prospective applicants should carefully review the rules and regulations for Fellow designation and the guide for preparing the contribution statement in the application package prior to initiating the process.

     Applicants must obtain recommendations of support for the candidate from three other Full Members. The meritorious contributions of the applicant must be detailed in the application form and must be supported by evidentiary documentation included with the package.

     The Fellow Application Package, including instructions, nomination and recommendation forms, and supporting information, may be obtained from HFES, P.O. Box 1369, Santa Monica, CA 90406-1369, carlos@hfes.org, and on the Fellows page of the HFES Web site. The completed application package (application form, recommendation form, candidate's vitae or résumé, and supporting documentation) must be received by the Fellows Selection Committee at the HFES Central Office on or before February 1, 2010. Applications approved by the Fellows Selection Committee, chaired by Kenneth R. Laughery, and the Executive Council are recommended for approval by the Fellows at large. Candidates who are approved at all three levels will receive Fellow Designation at the 2010 Annual Meeting.
