drive with a generous contribution him- self. That fund drive ultimately resulted in more than $9,000 being contributed to the scholarship fund. In addition to his multiple NE Section duties, from 2016- 2017 Jeff also served as an Advisory Board member on the National ExCom. Most recently, Jeff has taken a lead role in the planning efforts to support the NE Section’s hosting of the AIPG 2019 Annual Meeting in Burlington, VT.
Jeffrey J. Frederick,
CPG-10989 Elmsted, New York Section Leadership Award Northeast
Jeff Frederick has been an active member of the Northeast (NE) Section Executive Committee (ExCom) since 2010. One of Jeff’s long-held professional career goals has been to mentor young geologists. In addition to responsibly executing whatever duties and responsi- bilities that have been entrusted to him while serving on the NE Section ExCom, Jeff has also looked for ways to mentor young geologists. He served a two-year term as President-Elect, two consecutive two-year terms as President, a two-year term as Past-President, and presently serves as an At-Large member. During this time, Jeff has tirelessly directed, supported or participated in virtually all NE Section activities. Some examples include the daylong Spring and Fall General Meetings (field trip, dinner, after-dinner guest speaker), promoting the formation of student chapters (there are now three), serving as web master, sponsorship of short courses, a search for a new editor of the NE Section newsletter (published 4X during the year), contin- ued support to the successful effort to license geologists in the state of New York, and selection of a web hosting company for the NE Section web site.
As an actual recipient of the Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship in 1994, Jeff has also been a long-time and very strong supporter of this scholarship that is offered annually by the NE Section. Just one example of his support was to spearhead and kickoff the Christmas 2014 scholarship fund
No matter what activity the NE Section has undertaken in the past nine years, Jeff Frederick has been part of it. In doing so, he has helped to advance the mission and goals of both AIPG and the NE Section, while demonstrating his commitment to advance the geology profession and foster the development of young geologists. Jeff deserves wider recognition outside of the NE Section for his efforts and is thus worthy of receiving the AIPG Section Leadership Award.

Geological Licensing Act). Jeff Groncki stepped up with the initial core group of IL/IN Board members by taking a leadership role in the development of regulations within the state. With Jeff stepping up to act as a liaison among other professional geological societies in Illinois, AIPG quickly became recognized among non-member peers, and highly relevant to our state government. In fact, since February of 2014, Jeff has served as Chairman of the Illinois Licensing Board for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulations.
Jeff has served as IL/In Section Board member for 10-years, Vice-President for 4 years, from 2012 to 2014, and Section President from 2014 to 2017. Jeff is a Senior Manager for Walgreens Corporation and responsible for North American Environmental Engineering operations and applications. Jeff has applied his geological skills with a high degree of competence and is exemplary of what AIPG values, and represents its professional ethics on a daily basis. The contributions from Jeff are too numerous to list but needless to say, Jeff is a strong leader, solid geologist and represents exactly what this award is all about.
It is with this written recommenda- tion that I wish to have Jeff Groncki Nominated and awarded The Section Leadership Award.
Nomination by David Pyles, CPG- 7364. Jeffrey M. Groncki,
CPG-11118 Lake Zurich, Illinois Section Leadership Award Illinois/Indiana
This award is perfectly suited for the recognition of an outstanding leader within the Illinois/Indiana Section.
In 2008, the Illinois/Indiana Section initiated an effort to re-kindle par- ticipation in the section. A core group of geologists in the area met and organized structured biannual meetings and a sec- tion newsletter in alternating quarters. Jeff Groncki was one of the first to step up and support, call, push to grow sec- tion participation. Jeff also served as the technical editor coordinating the conference papers and presentations for AIPG’s National Conference in Chicago, which was hosted by the section in 2011. Jeff’s re-kindling efforts and support also came at a time when numerous regulations were being developed that directly affected our profession, and included related State licensure (Illinois
