The 2010 Institute and Board of Directors' Awards Ceremony has commenced in Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City. The annual Honors Ceremony, open to all meeting attendees, appears to have drawn a sizeable crowd on this windy but warm evening.
This year, there are four new Institute Awards to recognize accomplishments in Industry. They complement two previously established awards that have a specific focus on industrial practice.
