The purpose of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) awards is to recognize those who have made significant contributions that have influenced positive change and greatly impacted the built environment. The organization is looking to its members to nominate those individuals. 

This year, NIBS has taken further steps to recognize key stakeholders in the industry by redesigning its awards program. NIBS will be accepting nominations for the following:

• The Exceptional Woman in Building Award will recognize a dynamic, trailblazing woman who has made outstanding contributions to the built environment. This award is in celebration of the industry’s remarkable female thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and champions of change.
• It’s time to recognize the next generation of leaders across the built environment. The Future Leaders Award recognizes an individual under the age of 35, whose innovative talent is driving the industry into the future.
• The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award seeks to honor champions of diversity and celebrate their exemplary leadership in advancing DEI in the building industry. This award will recognize corporations or associations for their positive impacts on the industry and the community as a whole, by increasing diversity in leadership roles and engaging in ongoing efforts that yield measurable change.
• The NIBS Innovator Award recognizes an individual, organization, or project that has made groundbreaking advances and significant technological contributions to the built environment.
• The Distinguished Service Award will be awarded to an individual or organization member who has made a substantial contribution in support of the mission, goals, and objectives of NIBS. It will honor the impact made to the entire building community on NIBS’ behalf.
• The Mortimer M. Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest honor at NIBS. It goes to someone who has demonstrated a lifetime of dedication to the mission and goals of the organization. Established in 2011 and named after the first member of NIBS, this award is bestowed upon those who exhibit the passion upon which NIBS was founded.
