Professional Officers' Association Award to Henry [Phillpot]
No. 231 Nov/Dec 1975, Item 2847The Head Office cafeteria proved a highly suitable venue for the presentation of the Professional Officers' Association Award of Merit for 1975 to Henry Phillpot, head of the Bureau's synoptic research section. The occasion was the October quarterly meeting of the POA Victorian branch, and took the form of a dinner, well-attended by about 100.members, with a good turnout of meteorologists on hand to honour Henry. Chairing the meeting was branch vice-president Eric Jesson (physicist in HO), while the presentation was made by the association's general president Mr Don Cameron.
The Award of Merit is given "to bring due recognition by the community to individual members of the Association who, by virtue of the outstanding nature of their contribution to professional work, are clearly deserving of personal recognition".
The rules governing the award require adjudication by an independent authority, and on this occasion the adjudicator was Sir Frederick White, former Chairman of CSIRO.
Henry's is the 20th Award since they started in 1956, and Bureau members in particular were very pleased to see it given to a colleague held in such high esteem and affection. Former Bureau man Harry Treloar, also was a recipient of the Award.
