美國(guó)灌溉協(xié)會(huì)非常自豪地將工業(yè)成就獎(jiǎng)?lì)C給行業(yè)兩位領(lǐng)先人物。這一獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)僅授予在業(yè)內(nèi)對(duì)園林或農(nóng)業(yè)灌溉行業(yè)的發(fā)展做出突出貢獻(xiàn)的個(gè)人。
工業(yè)成就獎(jiǎng)（園林）
Rene Evelyn-Veere 雨鳥(niǎo)公司（美國(guó)亞利桑那州圖森市）
Rene Evelyn-Veere在1976年加入雨鳥(niǎo)，推動(dòng)了公司第一批計(jì)算機(jī)硬件的設(shè)計(jì)和軟件體系架構(gòu)的發(fā)展，即雨鳥(niǎo)MAXI基礎(chǔ)程序。MAXI是專(zhuān)門(mén)為高爾夫灌溉系統(tǒng)提供更多控制性能而設(shè)計(jì)的。他后來(lái)引領(lǐng)SmartWeather、Stratus II和Freedom Pad走向成功。Evelyn-Veere還因其獲得的專(zhuān)利而知名，這些專(zhuān)利大多直接源自他在雨鳥(niǎo)中負(fù)責(zé)的項(xiàng)目。
工業(yè)成就獎(jiǎng)（農(nóng)業(yè)）
George Sesser，尼爾森灌溉公司（美國(guó)華盛頓沃拉沃拉市）
作為一名有成就的工程師，George Sesser自1976年到尼爾森灌溉公司工作，是尼爾森灌溉成功推出多款樣品的突出貢獻(xiàn)者。Sesser給尼爾森帶來(lái)了20多項(xiàng)專(zhuān)利，他被譽(yù)為噴頭旋轉(zhuǎn)技術(shù)之父。他在設(shè)計(jì)上的成就、理念和哲理在灌溉行業(yè)具有重大影響力。Sesser 還多次榮獲美國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)與生物工程師協(xié)會(huì)的AE50獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。
預(yù)了解其他三大灌溉協(xié)會(huì)獎(jiǎng)獲得者的信息，請(qǐng)隨時(shí)關(guān)注即將出版的E-Times雜志。灌溉協(xié)會(huì)的所有獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)哂??xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />11月7日出席了在圣地亞哥舉行的2011美國(guó)國(guó)際灌溉展的全體大會(huì)。
IA Recognizes Industry Achievement Award Winners
The Irrigation Association is proud to recognize the two recipients of the Industry Achievement Award. This award honors individuals whose careers demonstrate outstanding contributions to the advancement of the irrigation industry and its products in both landscape and agriculture.
Industry Achievement Award (Landscape):
Rene Evelyn-Veere, Rain Bird Corporation (Tucson, Ariz.)
Rene Evelyn-Veere joined Rain Bird in 1976, brought on to design the hardware for the company's first computer as well as the software architecture that became the basis for Rain Bird's MAXI program. MAXI was designed to give golf course superintendents more control over their irrigation systems. He has since led the charge on successes such as SmartWeather, Stratus II and Freedom Pad. Evelyn-Veere is also recognized for his patents, many of which stem directly from his work with Rain Bird.
Industry Achievement Award (Agriculture):
George Sesser, Nelson Irrigation Corp. (Walla Walla, Wash.)
An accomplished engineer, George Sesser has worked at Nelson Irrigation Corp. since 1976 and has been a key contributor to the success of Nelson Irrigation's product offerings. Sesser has contributed to more than 20 patents at Nelson and is considered one of the fathers of Rotator? technology for irrigation sprinklers. His engineering successes, ideas and philosophies have had a major influence on the irrigation industry. Sesser is also the recipient of several AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.
Look for more in-depth coverage on the other three IA Awards winners in the upcoming issues of E-Times. IA award winners will also be recognized at the 2011 Irrigation Show's General Session on Monday, Nov. 7, in San Diego.
