NAFEMS Technical Fellows

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader." — John Quincy Adams

A Community Built on Passion

NAFEMS' continued existence depends on a dedicated network of volunteers. Supported by a small core staff, these individuals share their time, passion, and experience with the community—benefiting both the technology and the people who work with it every day.

Honouring Our Technical Fellows

Established in 2018, the NAFEMS Technical Fellow award recognises the outstanding contributions made by retired individuals who continue to play an active role in our Technical Working Groups.

This discretionary award is a tribute to:

• Long-term dedication to the advancement of the organisation and the technology.
• Impactful contributions made to the community over a significant period.
• Continued participation in NAFEMS’ Technical Working Groups.

The Technical Fellows are an essential, active group that meets quarterly with the NAFEMS executive to support and advance our Technical Working Group activities.

To all our Technical Fellows: Thank you for leading the way.
