They should be visionaries, exhibit leadership qualities, and have pioneered efforts in industrial microbiology and\/or biotechnology. While desirable, a strong publication or patent record is not to be used as the sole criteria for selection of the award winner since industrial \u201cHow To\u201d publications are limited. For this award, \u201cExcellence\u201d should be defined, at least in part, as focused on the process and its commercial success. Also for the purpose of this award, Fermentation is broadly defined as \u201cbioprocessing\u201d, to include the use of cells (or enzymes and other subcellular entities and organelles) regardless of source, e.g. bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, mammalian, insect, etc., living or not, free or immobilized and \u201cgreen technology\u201d including retrofitting existing processes (organisms or enzymes) and de novo bioprocesses to achieve greater environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Successful candidates are required to present a plenary lecture at the RAFT\u00ae Meeting. The award consists of a plaque and an honorarium of $1000 which will be presented at the bi-annual RAFT\u00ae Meeting sponsored by the SOCIETY. The awardee\u2019s travel, meeting registration, meals and hotel expenses will be reimbursed by the SOCIETY. In the event that no nominations are received or if the nominees are judged to be unqualified either by the awards committee or the BOD, then no award will be given.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#eea103;border-color:#eea103;border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:60px;--awb-padding-right:10%;--awb-padding-left:10%;--awb-margin-top:60px;--awb-background-color:#f9f9f9;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:104% !important;max-width:104% !important;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#ff911e;--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-font-size:20px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:500;margin:0;text-transform:uppercase;font-size:1em;--fontSize:20;--minFontSize:20;line-height:1.2;\">Past Awardees<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\" style=\"margin-bottom:60px;--awb-margin-bottom:60px;--awb-border-size:1px;--awb-icon-size:25px;--awb-content-font-size:18px;--awb-icon-alignment:left;--awb-hover-color:#f9f9f9;--awb-border-color:#cccccc;--awb-background-color:#ffffff;--awb-divider-color:#e0dede;--awb-divider-hover-color:#ff911e;--awb-icon-color:#828282;--awb-title-color:#616262;--awb-content-color:#474747;--awb-icon-box-color:#333333;--awb-toggle-hover-accent-color:#ff911e;--awb-title-font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;;--awb-title-font-weight:600;--awb-title-font-style:normal;--awb-title-font-size:20px;--awb-content-font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;;--awb-content-font-style:normal;--awb-content-font-weight:400;\"><div class=\"panel-group fusion-toggle-icon-unboxed\" id=\"accordion-371-1\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-1de48b5d5cf27e213 fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_1de48b5d5cf27e213\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"1de48b5d5cf27e213\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-371-1\" data-target=\"#1de48b5d5cf27e213\" href=\"#1de48b5d5cf27e213\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Past David Perlman Awardees<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"1de48b5d5cf27e213\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_1de48b5d5cf27e213\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\"><strong>2022<\/strong> &#8211; Michael V.
