Fellows

SNAME FELLOWS PROGRAM

SNAME Fellow is a honorific designation accorded exclusively to SNAME Members whose outstanding contributions to any of the SNAME areas of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious distinction. According to paragraph B1-2 of SNAME Bylaws, “The honorific designation of Fellow may be accorded exclusively to Members who have made outstanding personal contributions to naval architecture, marine or ocean engineering, or allied disciplines through significant achievements in design, research, production, operation, education, or associated management. A candidate shall have had not less than ten (10) years of active practice.”

SNAME Fellow Resources

Nominations for the honorific designation of Fellow is a peer-driven process.

A complete nomination package must include a completed nomination form and at least three signed letters of recommendation from an initiator and two endorsers, all of whom must be Members of SNAME. Additional letters of recommendation may be included from endorsers who need not be SNAME Members.
A candidate for Fellow cannot be the initiator or an endorser of his/her own nomination, and the nominee should not be aware or informed of his/her nomination.
Complete Fellow nomination packages can be submitted to SNAME Headquarters at any time.
The Fellows Committee conducts two evaluation cycles each year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall.
Nominations for the Spring 2025 cycle are due on 28 February. Nominations for the Fall cycle are due on TBD.
