ANCOLD welcomes and encourages young professionals to get involved and be active within the dams community.
An award for the Young Professionals Best Paper is given each year to an ANCOLD Associate Member or Employee of a Member Organisation.
Richard Rodd, David Stewart and Brian Cooper were tasked again this year with the difficult job of judging the Best Young Professional Paper Award. Richard Rodd noted the high standard of the papers and presentations that made the job of choosing a winner for the 2018 award very difficult with only a small margin separating nominees.
The judges therefore awarded two Young Professionals as the winners of the 2018 Best Paper and an Honorable Mention.
Thanks goes to Richard Rodd and Associates for sponsoring the ANCOLD Young Professionals Best Paper Award for 2018.
