It is my pleasure to nominate Dennis McGrath, CPG for your consideration as a recipient of the 2021 AIPG National Leadership Award. Over the last 24 years he’s provided leadership, service, and a professional presence at section meetings, events, and colleges/universi- ties. I hope you will find his legacy of selfless service to the Northeast Section of AIPG as compelling as we do.
His history of service to the Section over the last 20 years is easily seen in the vitae, below:

Section Meetings
The total distribution each year is determined on the Scholarship Sub- Committee’s evaluation of the appli- cations submitted, and are awarded primarily on the basis of financial need and academic qualifications; career goals, projects/accomplishments/educa- tional plans, and faculty recommenda- tion letter. In 2020 we were able to award nine outstanding undergraduate students $20,000 with the help of Dennis and the selection Sub-Committee. The Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geologic Scholarship is the most impactful profes- sional engagement we undertake on an annual basis as a section. His steward- ship of the Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geological Scholarship and his leader- ship of the Scholarship Sub-Committee has been remarkably consistent and professional. His impact on the lives of nearly 100 geology students however, has been profound.
Five years ago, I attended my first Northeast Section AIPG meeting, and met Dennis for the first time. Being extremely shy and knowing only one person in the room he was quick with introductions and instantly made me comfortable. I received an email follow- ing the meeting asking if I would like to get involved in the section and a few months later became the NE secretary. I had expressed interest in the scholar- ship and that same year he made a spot for me on the Sub-committee and got me engaged in reviewing the applications. If it wasn’t for Dennis’ encouragement, support, and positive attitude I would not be as involved as I am today with AIPG.

Dennis is the scholarship chair of the NE Section Angelo Tagliacozzo Memorial Geologic Scholarship. In the 30 years since inception, the NE Section has grown the scholarship trust fund to an impressive $380,000 through the direct solicitation of its members, cor- porate sponsors, and various fundrais- ers. Dennis has led the Scholarship Sub-Committee for over 10 years, and
Dennis served from 2001-2007 in an official capacity on the Nominating Sub-Committee, but old habits die hard. Dennis continues to serve to this day as the single most persuasive advocate for the NE-AIPG executive committee, and he identifies prospects and reaches out to active members to fill our ballot every year. His singular dedication to this one task has continuously staffed our ranks and provided fresh ideas (and members) to the executive committee for two decades.
In my short time with the NE Section, Dennis has contributed to our success in many other ways. He always helps with
