Dear Honorable Casey:
The Interagency Committee on Women in Science and Engineering
(WISE) is a non funded organization formed to strengthen
recruitment and advancement within the federal government
for women in the fields of science, engineering and related
technology. WISE also strives to ensure that women are
encouraged to prepare for scientific careers and are aware
that the U.S. Government has attractive opportunities to
offer in their fields.
In keeping with the above objectives, WISE is pleased to
announce the establishment of two annual awards, the WISE
Award and the WISE Lifetime Achievement Award. The awards
are designed to recognize the scientific and technical
contributions of women scientists and engineers in the
federal service. Presentation of the awards will take
place at the annual WISE training conference luncheon on
March 28, 1985, at the West Park Hotel in Rosslyn, Virginia.
Aoth the award recipients and their respective Agency Heads
will be invited to attend the luncheon as guests of WISE.
WISE invites you to nominate one candidate for each award.
The nomination format and criteria are indicated on the
enclosed forms. The nominations must be received not later
than February 26, 1985.
Women scientists and engineers have contributed significantly
to the scientific and technological advancements which have
benefitted not only the federal service, but the nation as
a whole. We hope you will take this opportunity to recognize
those women in your agency/department who have performed
outstanding work in those fields and nominate a candidate
 for each of these awards. The agency/department(s) of the
award recipients are requested to provide the necessary
travel expense for their attendance to the training conference.
Each nominee will receive a letter from WISE acknowledging her
nomination.
We look forward to your participation. If you have any
questions, please call me at 357-9819 or Bettie White,
Chairperson of the WISE Awards Subcommittee, at 453-2174.
