2020 MSS Fellows
Nomination Procedure
Steps to Becoming an MSS Fellow
Nominating a
colleague for induction as an MSS Fellow is an important step in raising the
visibility of work that furthers the technical knowledge and expertise of our community. Selection criteria include:
Significant
individual contributions as an engineer-scientist or technical leader to the
military sensing community
Evidence
of technical accomplishment, i.e. publications, internal company reports,
patents, and peer recognition
Input
from the MSS Fellows Committee, MSS Executive Committee, and the Military
Sensing Community
Candidates may
come from any military sensing field and may be from academia, government, or
industry. Whatever their careers,
candidates must have made an outstanding contribution to the military sensing
profession. This year, the annual Fellow
induction process begins in December, with nominations due in June, and awardees
will be recognized at the 2021 MSS Parallel Conference in February.
The process is
simple:
A
candidate is nominated by a colleague in the MSS community or by an MSS
specialty group. Fellows’ nominations must be submitted online at www.MSSconferences.org.
The
nominator fills out the nomination form with details of the candidate’s
qualifications and outstanding technical achievements
The
nominator obtains and submits the candidate’s resume
Five
supporters from among the MSS Fellows, MSS Executive Committee members, or
members of the MSS Program Committees are needed to support this nomination and
are identified during the nomination process.
These people constitute the references needed. The
nominator must reach out to the five
listed nomination supporters to advise them of the requirement that their
signed endorsement letter be submitted by email to the nominator or POC who
will upload the letter into the system as part of the nomination package
Should
some of the nomination packet require classification at the collateral level or
higher, a classified addendum can be submitted on SIPR or JWICS. Please contact MSSfellows@wbbinc.com for classified contact info.
PLEASE NOTE: Only CLASSIFIED addendums
(expansive information on candidate’s achievements, letters of reference, etc.)
can be included. A full UNCLASSIFIED nomination must be submitted on the
website.
