Awards and Recognition juries
Highlighting recognition in A/E/C
The awards and recognition juries are made up of professionals who dedicate their time to volunteer as judges in the Chapter President of the Year, SMPS Fellows Recognition, Weld Coxe Marketing Achievement Award, Marketing Innovation Firm of the Year Award, Business Developer of the Year Award, and the Emerging Leader of the Year Award programs. Jurors spend countless hours evaluating numerous nominations and entries focusing on criteria that showcase each program’s unique eligibility and results of the project.
