The definition of a “vanguard” is someone who is at the forefront of new developments and technologies. In this spirit, AASHTO established the annual Vanguard award to honor a deserving individual doing extraordinary things in the field of transportation.
Any individual from an AASHTO member department, age 40 or younger at the time of the nomination, working in a permanent status capacity for a member department and who exemplifies a commitment to excellence and/or implementation of innovative technologies and processes is welcome to be nominated.
AASHTO will only accept one nominee per member department and the organization plans to convene a special panel whose purpose will be to select an individual deserving of the award. The winner of this award will be invited to present his/her innovative technology or process at the 2024 AASHTO Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
