The Western District Lifetime Achievement Award is considered the District’s highest recognition of professional accomplishment and outstanding services in the interest of Western District. It is designed to honor members of Western District who, as active or retired members in good standing of Western District, have accomplished significant achievements over a period of not less than 20 years that have benefited the membership of Western District, ITE as an organization, and the profession of transportation engineering and/or planning. The award winner is presented with a plaque at the Western District Annual Meeting describing their accomplishments. The current Past President chairs a committee that reviews the annual nominations for the Lifetime Achievement Award in the winter.

A Nomination form can be submitted to the Nomination Committee in the fall and the Selection Process is completed in the winter.
