-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Richard Boynton, both personally and through his company, Space Electronics, has been a long-time
supporter of and contributor to the Society of Allied Weight Engineers. As a prominent colleague and
personal friend of many members, the Society instituted an award in 2010 to honor his contributions
and legacy as a member of this organization. This ongoing award will keep Mr. Boynton’s legacy
alive as an inspiration for our members long after the ending of his remarkable career. The Richard
Boynton Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented annually (if warranted) to a member of
SAWE that has demonstrated extraordinarily strong and sustained support of the SAWE over a
significant number of years.
Criteria:
1. Candidate shall have demonstrated extraordinarily strong and sustained support of the Society over
a significant number of years.
2. Society support shall typically be broad-based, encompassing many (though not necessarily all) of
the following areas.
• Financial support through exhibiting, sponsorship, the scholarship fund, or as a personal
benefactor.
• Technical paper author and/or strong support of the technical mission of the Society.
• History of dedicated service to the Society at the Chapter and International level.
• Demonstrated support of and/or contributions to the Training Program.
3. Candidates shall be well-known throughout the Society, demonstrating support of the Mass
Properties community and profession through the bonds of being a trusted colleague.
4. Personal dedication to and support of the Society may be considered as a factor, such as paying
one’s own way to conferences, other support or service absent the financial support of an employer, or
volunteer service, such as serving on Technical, G/I, or Conference Planning Committees, etc.
5. In the spirit of this award, dedicated to keeping Mr. Boynton’s legacy and spirit alive within the
Society, the personal judgment of the Awards Committee as to a candidate’s worthiness, even given
deficiencies in any of the above areas, may be considered as a weighting factor.
