In announcing the gala and its honorees, AIChE Executive Director June Wispelwey said, 鈥淭he advances in chemical process safety 鈥� made through CCPS and the work of countless chemical engineers working at CCPS member companies 鈥� are among our profession鈥檚 most important legacies. The Institute is delighted to host this year鈥檚 gala, which highlights the exemplary work of our honorees, all of whom are setting standards of excellence for process safety culture in their organizations.鈥�

Each fall, AIChE holds an awards gala that recognizes leaders from a variety of industries whose careers exemplify excellence in advancing chemical engineering. The gala strengthens AIChE鈥檚 connection with industry leaders and builds support for important initiatives AIChE is undertaking on behalf of its members and the chemical engineering profession.
Last year鈥檚 gala supported the Institute鈥檚 diversity and inclusion initiatives. Funds raised underwrote scholarships for students from underrepresented groups, K鈥�12 outreach initiatives, programs for international students, and AIChE鈥檚 advocacy for recruiting and retaining women in the profession, and supporting their re-entry after family leave.
