Nominations are now open for the John Shaw Medal, the Australian road industry’s most prestigious award for individual achievement.
The Medal will again be presented at a special Award Dinner in Sydney on July 28, held in conjunction with the two-day Roads Australia National Roads Summit.
Named in honour of former NSW Commissioner of Main Roads and Australian Road Federation president, John Shaw, the Medal has a long history and is seen as one of the most significant achievements in the Australian road transport sector.
Recipients are chosen from an esteemed panel of previous winners, and the medal is only awarded in years where the panel believes a candidate of sufficient merit has been nominated.
In 2008, the Medal was awarded to RACV Managing Director and CEO, Colin Jordan, and in 2007 to His Excellency Dr Ken Michael AC, Governor of Western Australia and a former Commissioner of Main Roads for WA.
A full list of past winners, together with information on criteria for the Award, can be viewed under the About Us tab on this website.
Further information is also available from RA Chief Executive, Ian Webb, at ian@roads.org.au
Nominations for the 2009 Award close on April 30.
