(ASQ: Milwaukee) -- Paul Borawski, American Society for Quality (ASQ) executive director and chief strategic officer, was recently awarded the Council of Engineering and Scientific Society Executives (CESSE) Leadership Award. The award was presented at the CESSE Annual Meeting in Detroit, July 15–18. Borawski received the award for distinguished excellence in the management of scientific and/or engineering societies, and for outstanding contributions to CESSE, which include a new initiative to assist CESSE organizations in improving their level of membership satisfaction. This was done through a survey to measure and benchmark the member satisfaction of the organizations. “CESSE is thrilled to present this leadership award to Paul Borawski for his continuous insightful contributions to our organization,” says Steve Nelson, CESSE awards chair. “It has been eight years since CESSE has presented this award as it is a rare occasion to find someone so deserving.” Borawski has been a member of CESSE for 20 years, and has served on the CESSE board of directors. He has held the offices of secretary and vice president, and in 1999–2000 he served CESSE as president.
