2017 HONORS AND AWARDS AIPG Section Leadership Awards
The AIPG Section Leadership Award was established in 2013 to recognize one or more of our members who have demon- strated a long-term commitment and have been long-term contributors to AIPG at the section level. AIPG has many sections where one or more individuals have demonstrated exceptional leadership for their section and in many instances kept the section together and moving forward. These individuals are commonly not known at the National level or by AIPG members outside of their sections, however, their contributions have been vital to their sections and they perform this work because of their commitment to our profession and AIPG. All active section members are eligible. It is not required to be a current or past section officer. The award will consist of a plaque (or similar) that will be presented to the awardees at the annual meeting of AIPG. Based on the above criteria the Awards Committee may select multiple nominees for the award. The AIPG Section Leadership Award is administered by the Executive Committee of AIPG. The selection of the winning member(s) will be decided by the AIPG Awards Committee. The deadline for submittal of nominees for the AIPG Section Leadership Award, to AIPG National Headquarters, is January 15th of each year.

Jayne A. Englebert, CPG-8907 Wisconsin Section
Jayne Englebert PG CPG has been the Wisconsin AIPG Section Treasurer for over 15 years. She has been diligently overseeing and reporting our financial reports for both our Section and National requirements in a timely and easy to understand manner. Her attendance at our monthly board calls is exemplary and her listening skills and advice during the calls are priceless. She is a very friendly professional and serves as a great out- reach and point of contact for Wisconsin AIPG and the organization.
Wisconsin sponsored the 2000 National AIPG Conference with Jayne’s leadership. This conference took 3 years of planning for the Section (1998-2000) to make it work, and Jayne was a key planner in that process for the logistics of the arrangements (hotel, meetings, registration payment scheme) and she was also the financial person (treasurer and assisting with registrations) for that meeting as well. The Section’s hosting of that meeting was a big success, and Jayne encouraged many other Sections and Corporations to help sponsor the meeting!
In addition to her treasurer duties, Jayne has assisted with all our Section events and functions. Jayne co-led the effort to help Wisconsin obtain Geologist Licensing from 1996 to 1999. Long hours

We appreciate her calm, steady demeanor as well as her wonderful sense of humor, perspective and loyalty to our Section.

Dawn H. Garcia, CPG-8313 Arizona Section
Dawn Garcia has made significant contributions to the Arizona Section for more than 25 years and is highly deserving of the Section Leadership Award. She has held various offices at the Section Level including President as recently as 2013. She has organized field trips including one to Mexico and attends national and section meetings regularly. Last year, she volunteered to testify at the Arizona State Legislature regarding HB 2613 – the bill that would have de-regulated geologists in the state.
Curt has been actively involved in the AIPG Minnesota Section for many years. He’s held many leadership posi- tions within our section, but since I have been involved in 2006 he’s been a great advocate for geoscience education. He is one of the main organizers of our annual golf fundraiser, which is the Minnesota Section’s maim fundraiser for our edu- cational initiatives. The golf fundraiser supports the Minnesota Section’s annu- al scholarship and the donation of rock/ mineral hardness kits to K-12 teach- ers. Curt is a regular attendee of the Minnesota Section’s monthly luncheon meetings, which feature an hour long technical talk. Active members like Curt, who continue to participate and support the section over many years, are invaluable. Thank you Curt!
