EXTON, Pa. – The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers has opened its call for nominations for the 2010 Young Canadian Engineering Professional of the Year Award, sponsored by Aurora Networks, and with publishing partner Cartt.ca.
SCTE developed the award and presented it for the first time at the inaugural SCTE Canadian Summit, which took place in February. The award is designed to annually recognize a young cable telecommunications engineering professional in Canada who is already making his or her mark on the industry.
The 2009 recipient was Rogers Cable’s Boris Culum.
The 2010 award will be presented during the 2010 SCTE Canadian Summit’s event luncheon on Tuesday, March 9. The 2010 Summit is set for March 9 to 10 in Toronto.
Individuals will be nominated for the award based upon their outstanding technical contributions, achievements, and leadership in advancing the cable telecommunications industry. Nominees must be a Canadian resident, an SCTE member, and under the age of 35 as of Dec. 31, 2009.
The deadline for nominations for the 2010 award is Monday, Jan. 11, 2010. Those interested in submitting a nomination may do so by visiting www.scte.org, selecting “Member Services,” and then selecting Awards.
The annual SCTE Canadian Summit itself is designed to promote the exchange of technical information for today and tomorrow among Canadian engineering professionals.
