We will also award the CRS section awards, which consist of the Key Contributor Award, Consistent Contributor Award, Fund Development Award, National Contributions Award, Technical Award, SWE-CRS Section Outstanding New Engineer Award, Significant Supporter Award, and Newcomer Award. The Awards Banquet is also where we award the Golden Family and Collegiate Sections awards.

Walter McFall, a SWE member and retired Principle Outreach Recruiting Coordinator for Argonne National Laboratory, will be the keynote speaker. Walter received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and worked on research in aqueous and liquid metal corrosion of nuclear reactor structural materials in his early career at Argonne before transitioning to Human Resources. Walter helped develop internship programs for underrepresented minorities and women while at Argonne , and in addition to SWE, is a member of WEPAN, AIChE, BOBCChE, AAAS, ASEE, and NAMEPA. He is also active with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, both as a subscriber and a volunteer; enjoys the Lyric Opera as a subscriber; and is very active as an usher in his church parish.
