2026 Education Award – Nominations are Open


Each year at our conference, we honor a SCIP member who has made a big impact in educating our industry. Perhaps they’ve focused on teaching specifications, or perhaps they’ve shown the power of specifications to a broader audience. Not only do we recognize the winner’s contributions at the Annual Conference and online, but we also present the winner with a $1,000 check and a commemorative plaque.

The time has come to tell us about your education hero! If you have a nomination, please fill out the online form and nominate your hero for this year’s prize. If you have any trouble with the form, you may email the PDF Form to Vivian Volz (vivian@vvasinc.com) and Linda Stansen (stanspecs@comcast.net). 

Need inspiration? Check out the illustrious list of past winners on the Education Award 

Award and check will be presented at the Annual Conference being held this year in St. Louis, MO.

Nominations must be received by end of day on April 30, 2026.
