About the award
Inaugurated in 1996, a distinguished Fellowship is the recognition of highly distinguished contributions over many years to the profession in academia, government or industry and the RACI and is awarded on, or very close to, retirement from the candidate’s principal professional role. Distinguished Fellowships do not carry financial or post-nominal implications. Rarely would there be more than three Distinguished Fellowships awarded per year.
This award requires nomination by the Board, Branch or Divisional Committee of the RACI. The candidate is required to have been a Fellow of the RACI for a minimum of 3 years and to have been a financial member for a minimum of 10 years.
The nomination should include:
• a citation identifying reasons for the recommendation of recognition as a Distinguished Fellow, highlights of the service to the RACI since admittance as a Fellow and highlights of the professional career of the nominee since admission as a Fellow.
