Academy of Fellows to Invest 23 New Members in 2024

Welcome the Academy of Fellows, Class of 2024!

The SAME Academy of Fellows has selected the new members who will be invested in the Fellows Class of 2024, during the 2024 Fellows Investiture, which will be held at JETC in Orlando, May 14-16. The AOF Executive Committee made the selections in December, and then they were ratified by the SAME National President, Col. Charles Perham, F.SAME, USAF (Ret.).

This year, a total of 23 SAME members will become Fellows, joining the more than 700 members of the Academy of Fellows. While SAME has bestowed the title of Fellow on select members since 1973, in 1995 an academy was formally established to recognize those who have rendered dedicated and outstanding service to the Society, to military engineering, and to the A/E/C profession.

During the ceremony in May, the Academy of Fellows also will honor this year’s recipient of the Gerald C. Brown Mentoring Award, which is given annually to a member of the Academy for outstanding mentoring efforts. This year, the Academy of Fellows Golden Eagle Awards also will be presented at JETC, during the Society Ball & Awards Gala.
