George T. Hanyo Award
Purpose
To recognize outstanding performance in technical support of research or development in areas of interest to AVS.

Eligibility
A nominee must have contributed unusual skills and creative scientific or technical ideas in support of at least one major research or development program which influenced areas of interest to AVS. This supporting work must have been provided over a period of at least ten (10) years. Eligible candidates include those working in experimental procedures, data analysis, statistical analysis, IT advances, equipment design and construction, and other comparable activities. Managerial and administrative personnel are not eligible.
In any given year an individual may provide a nominating or supporting letter for only one candidate for each award. The award shall be granted without restrictions except that current members of the Board of Directors and the Awards Committee are not eligible. Further, no member of the Awards Committee may nominate or support any nomination. The AVS Awards Committee reserves the right to consider a candidate for a different award category.
Nature of the Award
The award consists of a cash award and a plaque setting forth the reasons for the award. Travel expenses of the awardee to the meeting at which the award will be presented shall be reimbursed to a maximum of $500.
Establishment and Support
The award was established in 1996 by the Kurt J. Lesker Company in the memory of George T. Hanyo, a highly skilled, long-time employee of the company.
